In the Islamic country of Turkey, honor murders, which can also be described as a form of femicide, resulted in a terrifying number of deaths this year:

At least 275 women in Turkey were killed by men between January and October despite the government’s claim that the number of femicides in the country is trending downward, Turkish Minute reported, citing the Birgün daily.

According to the data, 19 of the women who were killed had obtained a restraining order against their murderers. Thirty-four of the women were killed in October alone.

Based on the data from the Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP), while at least one femicide occurred every day of the year, there was an 88 percent increase in the number of femicide cases in October of this year compared to the same month of 2021.

The most common “motivation” for the murder of women was their refusal to marry or have a relationship with their killers.

This is horrific, but you won't see many western/eastern governments condemning it, if at all.
