Abstract

There is insufficient concrete legal definition of femicide in Turkey. There has not yet been agreement as to the definition of femicide, as it can be confused with so-called ‘honour killing’ and ‘revolt killing’ in Turkey, but there are some related definitions around violence against women in Turkey.
