We will Stop Women’s Murders Platform (KCDP) published the report for “Women Murders in 2022”. In the statement made by the KCDP, it was recalled that they had been compiling femicide data since 2010 and said, “The only year in which femicide decreased in these past 12 years was the year 2011, when the Istanbul Convention was signed. Since the discussions about the Istanbul Convention started, there has been an increase in women’s murders and suspicious deaths. In 2022, which we spent without a contract in Istanbul, there was a big increase in female murders and suspicious female deaths. When it was so clear that many women survived when the Istanbul Convention was effectively implemented, the political power withdrew its signature from the Istanbul Convention.”
