TRIn July 2026, according to data compiled by Bianet from various Turkish media outlets, men were responsible for killing at least 28 women and one child. These killings included instances where men targeted individuals due to relationship issues or jealousy. Additionally, men injured at least 54 women, abused 11 children, and harassed 13 women during the same period. There were also reports of 64 women being forced into sex work. Over the first seven months of 2026, men killed 170 women, with many more cases classified as 'suspicious' and potentially linked to gender-based violence. Similar patterns were observed in previous years, including 2025 and 2024, showing a consistent trend of male-perpetrated violence against women.
