The theme of this article concerns {\textquotedblleft}crimes of honor{\textquotedblright} {\textendash}\&nbsp;from a feminist, socio-legal perspective of gender and human\&nbsp;rights point of view {\textendash} involving different aspects relating to\&nbsp;how the national legislation treats discrimination, especially\&nbsp;crimes of violence against women, and, specifically, the way the\&nbsp;national courts apply this legislation to concrete cases.\&nbsp;Although there were international, regional and national\&nbsp;advances in relation to the subject, especially during the\&nbsp;nineties, there are still legislation and legal decisions, even in\&nbsp;the twenty first century, violating women{\textquoteright}s human rights, being\&nbsp;marked by the impunity of the offenders and by the\&nbsp;incorporation of stereotypes, prejudices and discriminations\&nbsp;against women who are victims of violence.},
