News Center- We Will Stop Femicide Platform (Kadın Cinayetlerini Durduracağız Platformu-KCDP) has released its April 2024 report on femicide. In April, 32 women were killed, 13 more died under suspicious circumstances in Turkey, the report said.

 According to the report, 10 women were killed by men on the excuse that they had asked for a divorce, refused marriage or dating proposals, one on the excuse that her mother did not want to reconcile with her father, one on the excuse that she fed a cat, one on excuse of financial reasons. The excuse of men, who killed 18 women could not be determined.

“The reason why we could not determine the excuse of men, who killed 18 women, is that violence against women and femicide are invisible. Without the determination of the reasons behind femicide, the fair trial and preventive measures, violence against women continues by changing its forms.”

19 women were killed by their husbands, five by their partners, three by their relatives, two by their intimate men, one by her father, one by her brother and one by her son, the report said.
