Eight femicides in 24 hours

The cases of male violence in Izmir, Bursa, Sakarya, Erzurum, Denizli, and Istanbul once again highlight that women are not safe in Turkey.

Men killed seven women in Turkey in 24 hours, while another woman lost her life a few days after being shot by a man.

The cases of male violence were reported in Izmir, Bursa, Sakarya, Erzurum, Denizli, and Istanbul, said Bianet.

The Turkish Medical Association Women's Assembly issued a statement titled "We will not lose another one of us".

The statement said: "In 2 days, 7 women were murdered by men. This is a massacre! Violence against women is a public health issue. Anti-women rhetoric and impunity fuel violence. The Istanbul Convention must be immediately implemented, and Law No. 6284 must be effectively enforced! We will not lose another person!"
