At least 246 women killed in 9 months

A woman is murdered almost every day in Turkey. According to the We Will Stop Femicide Platform, at least 26 women were murdered in September, and 19 women died suspiciously. There were 33 femicides and 15 suspected female deaths in August. Looking at the monthly balance sheets of the platform, at least 246 women have been murdered since the beginning of the year. When dozens of suspicious female deaths are added to this figure, the picture of violence against women is even more horrendous.
