Men are so lost. Living a disastrous life but thinking they are right. I think women who consider any type of romantic relationship with men should consider the risks and def have a life insurance, and always share their location with someone their trust. Men are the most dangerous out there. I also think that real Men (who are not toxic masculine according to stupid societal and family tradition rules) struggle with other men too. For those I feel sorry because it’s just uncomfortable to have to deal with other men and are judged as “weak”. All upside down.

As a man I couldn't agree more, it is hard to talk with other men, it is hard to get them to understand, they are just so used to having to portray themselves and act as a man first and foremost, then after that a human.

@@truth-uncensored2426 don’t be obtuse. cautionary advice given by a woman about entering relationships with men, especially when informed by real-world statistics and personal or societal experiences, is not inherently misandry. It's rooted in pragmatism and an understanding of the risks posed by systemic gender-based violence. Discernment and Such advice reflects a survival strategy rather than hatred or prejudice against men. You can tell it’s fair discernment because they mentioned the plight of good men navigating such a system and their struggles.

[@odilbekb-sarkaev1052]

Femicide, the gender-based killing of women, is a critical issue in Turkey, Europe, and the United States. While all regions grapple with this form of violence, the prevalence, trends, and responses exhibit notable differences. Prevalence and Statistics Turkey: In 2022, Turkey reported 381 femicides, an increase from 348 in 2021, indicating that at least one woman was killed every day due to gender-based violence. ​​ Europe: In 2022, Italy had the highest number of femicide cases in the European Union, with 118 reported incidents. ​​ Other countries also face significant challenges, with varying rates of femicide across the continent. United States: In 2021, there were approximately 4,970 female victims of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, with 34% killed by an intimate partner. ​​ This translates to about 1,690 women killed by intimate partners that year. Trends Turkey: The country has experienced fluctuations in femicide rates over the years. Notably, in 2020, 300 women were killed, a decrease from previous years. However, the distinction between confirmed femicides and suspicious deaths has been emphasized, with 171 women found suspiciously dead in 2020. ​​ Europe: Between 2010 and 2022, Europe witnessed an average reduction of 21% in female intimate partner/family-related homicides. However, some regions, especially Western and Southern Europe, saw setbacks, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. ​​ United States: The U.S. has seen a concerning rise in femicide rates. In 2019, 2,997 women were murdered, compared to 1,691 in 2014, indicating a significant increase over five years. ​​ Legal Framework and Responses Turkey: In March 2021, Turkey withdrew from the Istanbul Convention, a Council of Europe treaty aimed at preventing and combating violence against women. This decision sparked national and international criticism, with concerns about the potential rise in femicide rates and the effectiveness of protective measures for women. ​​ Europe: Many European countries remain committed to the Istanbul Convention and have implemented various measures to combat femicide. However, challenges persist, including underreporting, inadequate data collection, and the need for more effective prevention strategies. ​​ United States: The U.S. has enacted laws such as the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to address domestic violence and femicide. Despite these measures, the intersection of intimate partner violence and firearm availability poses significant challenges, as abusers with guns are five times more likely to kill their victims. ​​ Cultural and Societal Factors Turkey: Honor-based violence continues to be a significant issue, particularly in certain regions. Reports indicate that honor killings are more prevalent in the Southeastern part of the country, with cultural norms sometimes perpetuating such practices. ​​ Europe: While honor-based violence exists in some European communities, the broader issue of femicide often relates to intimate partner violence and systemic gender inequalities. Efforts are ongoing to address these root causes through education, legal reforms, and support services. United States: Intimate partner violence is a leading cause of femicide in the U.S. Cultural factors, including societal attitudes towards gender roles and the prevalence of firearms, contribute to the complexity of addressing femicide effectively. Conclusion Femicide remains a pervasive issue in Turkey, Europe, and the United States, each facing unique challenges influenced by cultural, legal, and societal factors. Addressing this crisis requires comprehensive strategies, including robust legal frameworks, societal change, and effective support systems for victims.​​

Many friends of mine go to Turkey a lot for vacation. And they often try to convince me to join them. I refused to step my feet in a country where brutal crimes against women are systematically downplayed by its government. My mother and I live thousands of miles away from each other. One day during a video call on messenger, I happened to discover bruises on my mother and learnt that my mother had been abused and beat up by my step father. I felt enraged yet helpless at the same time. I couldn’t do anything to help my mother but to provide her anything she would need to escape the domestic violence. Women and girls are the foundation of humanity. I truly hope that every society will learn to respect and embrace their women sooner than later. My heart aches and shed tears watching Mutlu’s story. I can’t imagine how painful this family went and going through. And I wish your campaign for women in Turkey bears fruits the soonest. And all the best for your family.

[@metallicroostersailor8105]

The government does not support any crime and Turkey has a violent crime rate against women that is on par with Western European countries like Germany, even if you consider all suspicious female deaths to be murder. The reason this man only got 15 years is because of the difference between "murder" and "attempted murder". If the victim had died, he would never have been free. But since the victim survived, it was only attempted murder, and 15 years is the maximum sentence.

[@thereset2030]

Please dont condemn a whole country for the crimes of a few. Realize we are still working on justice against women, too. Look at the recent house hearing on missing and murdered indigenous women who are now being heard after decades of being ignored. Victims who were minors are now almost grandmothers. Taking action against violence on women may be more effective than not joining a trip.

[@SaiAndHisStories]

@ I don’t condemn the country and its people and I have no rights to. Quite on the contrary, I find the people there are lovely and kind people, I have some close friends from Turkey here in Belgium. My choice of not going there is a personal protest, a condemnation against the government who has the power to protect but instead decided to pull out of the Istanbul convention to protect women rights. And again, I hope that the people at the top are starting to prioritise the safety and rights of its citizens, especially for the women. And hopefully they don’t wait too long to prosecute the perpetrators until the family of the victims will have become grandmothers or pass away and get no justice.

At the time that sister to my aunt through marriage was pregnant while she was over age 50 at the time. After people had started to believe that she was no longer fertile at the time. Her husband is a kind farmer who while he was a young single man had got kicked in the head by a bull whiile doing farm work which had left a very large scar on the one side of his forhead. Didn't affect his ability to be warm, compassionate, hard working and kind to his wife. While he was feeling and doing okay to help keep their familyfarm in Saskatchewan during his executive functioning tasks at the time according to her too. She was the one who told me that while she was pregnant at the time. Unfortunately she miscarried. Miscarriage early on during a pregnancy is commonplace now among young women too in todays world.

This is a hard documentary...

I don't like musicals. but violence is in every country,

This is mainly a Kurdish issue in Turkey, not a Turkish issue. Almost all femicides happen in the southeast, where it's predominantly Kurdish.

What makes you so sure? Here in Canada some people say that it is only an indigenous issue instead which of course we all know isn't true here in Canada. Just saying. When most lawyers all over the world seem more impressed with property owners who show up at their office when asking them to take on their case. Take on their case instead of them ending up as only remains in somebody else's only a suit case. In Italy children often get kidnapped and held for ramsom. Here in Canada isntead it is often both female persons and male person remains of people who were shorter in stature ending up as being only remains in suitcases instead. Perhaps that has something to do with confusion in some people about what children who can walk on Canadian soil look like. What children look like when someone from Mafia is looking for a child to kidnap and then hold for ransom. From Mafia mob which probable has plenty of money to hire lookalike fashion models to show up in their place. Are their some well known public figures who do the same while only feeling cowardly at the time after their intelligence agents have informed them that death threats are coming in? Princess Diana was never that cowardly. Nor is prince Charles that cowardly or any of their children.

The killer of Dilek is turkish army officer. So now shut your racist mouth.

And that part of the map is not under the Turkish government's justice system. What is your point, really? If you see them as others, then let them have their own government. It is a worldwide issue, and it is a Turkiye issue.

DW, I want to ask you something. The annual female homicide rate in Turkey is 1/100,000. Even if you interpret all suspicious female deaths and suicides as female homicides, that's only 1.3/100,000. That's almost the same crime rate as Germany, and one-third of the US. What I'm wondering is, if you see this as a problem, why don't you report on Germany, where it happens at almost the same rate, and why do you report on Turkey so often? 85 million people live in Turkey, and there is no country in the world with zero crime.

[@tropicsgalthrifts]

This is misinformation. DV cases are unreported. Severely underreported so the rate of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault is quite higher there than usual therefore femicide rate...is also quite high. (Weirdly and thankfully this, femicide, isn't common where I'm in/from.)

DW is a anti-Turkey propaganda channel. It even makes interviews with pro-PKK politicians.

@@tropicsgalthrifts You cannot hide female assassination, these women have families and there's a body, you cannot hide this. And there's independent european institutions who verify this numbers.

What is Femicide?

[@kaledonia1983]

Femicide in Turkey is murders in which women are killed for reasons related to their social roles, such as being killed on the grounds of "honor cleansing"
