Dalam Angka
Successive reports of femicides from various provinces in Türkiye reveal the state's shortcomings in protecting its citizens and the culture of impunity. While women were killed in Manisa, Karabük, and Isparta within the last 48 hours, the picture of the past two weeks has spread across a much wider geography.
The common characteristics of the highlighted incidents are highly noteworthy. Some of the victimized women had previously obtained restraining or protection orders because they suffered violence, but these measures proved ineffective. Furthermore, most of the attackers stand out as the women's ex-husbands or cohabitants.
According to data from civil society organizations, hundreds of women fell victim to femicide in the first six months of the year. Women victims of violence draw attention to the failure of the police to take them seriously and the inadequacy of the justice system, calling for the enforcement of protection orders for their LIVES' safety.
