Honor killings
In June 2014 The Islamic Monthly published an article by Qazi, on honor killings. In the article she described the advice she gave to an American law enforcement official who was assigned to assess the risk to a young Muslim-American woman who said she feared being a victim of an honor killing.

In 2015, after the US Department of Justice published a report that said honor killings within the United States were underreported Fox News quoted Qazi's explanation. Qazi said young women in a position to report this crime were intimidated by both personal and family shame.
