In 2023, a non-governmental organization called ‘We Will Stop Femicide’ will work to end the killing of women. They recorded 315 cases of femicide in Turkey during that year.
The aforementioned NGO has pointed out that in the past 15 years, the only year in Turkey where femicide decreased was in 2011 when the Istanbul Convention was ratified.
