Latifa Ali
Latifa is the author of Betrayed, the true story of her own life being raised as a westerner in Australia by her Kurdish Iraqi parents. When she refuses to succumb to an arranged marriage to a cousin who had raped her, her mother sees this as a great dishonor on the family and brings her back to Iraq under false pretenses, leaving her there imprisoned in her father’s home. If Latifa does not escape Iraq, she will almost surely be the victim of the ancient practice of honor killing.
