Dozens of women are murdered every month in Turkey. Perpetrators often benefit from a culture of impunity. While the authorities frequently make statements encouraging violence against women, the attitude of the police and the judiciary also encourages the perpetrators of violence.

According to Jinnews' March violence against women tally, at least 26 women were murdered last month and 17 women died in suspicious circumstances.

According to the news compiled by Bianet from local and national newspapers, news sites and agencies, men killed 324 women in 2021, 284 women in 2020, and at least 328 women in 2019.
