TURKEY’S ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) was today accused of posing a danger to women, with 50 murdered in August as femicide continues to rise.
Latest figures collated by the We Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP) found that at least 27 women were killed by men in August, while 23 women died “in suspicious circumstances.”
While Turkey does not record statistics on femicide, the group collects data based on media and police reports. It warns of a worrying trend of rising murders and violence against women.
