Cosmopolitan's UK edition deserves a slow, strong clap for their powerful message about honour killings.
For February this year, they have produced a limited edition front cover, depicting a distressed women, shrouded in a grey, steamy mist and enveloped in a plastic sheath.
The plastic wrapper on the magazine has been used to represent the suffocation that was inflicted upon Shafilea Ahmed, at the hands of her parents, in front of her siblings.
Reportedly, she had committed no crime, save turning down a suitor for an arranged marriage. Shafilea had previously also swallowed bleach in a presumed suicide attempt.
