This annotated bibliography provides an overview of relevant literature and resources on Honor-Based Abuse (HBA) within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and among communities from MENA living in the diaspora. Intended to support the development of training materials for first-line responders, especially police officers who may engage with survivors of HBA in MENA, the bibliography focuses primarily on training tools and programmatic guidance on responding to cases of HBA.

The bibliography begins with a list of articles covering the nature and scope of HBA in the MENA region and diaspora. It then provides a summary of training tools and other resources on GBV response services that may be relevant in working with HBA survivors, covering risk identification and assessment and GBV case management. The bibliography also includes a section on police response and access to justice for HBA. It concludes with a brief list of resources addressing HBA prevention and advocacy in the MENA region and diaspora.
