Dissolution Case against the ‘We Will Stop Femicide’ Platform

“In April 2022, namely one year after the Istanbul Convention was abolished on 21 March 2021, data was released showing that 302 women were killed by men during this one-year period, and the deaths of 254 women were recorded as suspicious deaths.”

PEN Norway’s legal adviser writes about the case due to be hear in Istanbul on 5 October, 2022 in which the Prosecutor is proposing to shut down a women’s NGO aimed at preventing femicide in Turkey.

Tomorrow, 5 October, PEN Norway’s Turkey Adviser will be in the court room monitoring this important case for women all over Turkey. The femicide epidemic in Turkey shows conclusively the dire need for Turkey to rejoin the Istanbul Convention protecting women and girls.
