NEWS CENTER_ Domestic violence crimes and femicide have escalated in Turkey amid increasing human rights concern, after dozens of victims among women and children were recorded, most of them under mysterious circumstances.

A recent report published by JINNEWS agency stated that at least 27 women and 6 children were killed as a result of violent crimes, alongside the recording of the deaths of 10 women and 6 other children, under the category of "mysterious deaths/suspected criminal."

The report reopened the file of the effectiveness of legal procedures for protecting women, shedding light on the two killings of Narin Soyuer and Aisha Kul Coşkun. It explained that the two crimes were carried out by men against whom restraining and no-contact orders had been issued, indicating the existence of clear gaps in the mechanisms for implementing these orders on the ground to protect lives.

According to what preliminary investigations in the death cases showed, most of the cases resulted from falling from high places, or deaths recorded inside homes and workplaces, in addition to finding the bodies of victims in waterways.

Regarding the backgrounds of the perpetrators and their relationship to the victims, official statistics contained in the report showed a distribution reflecting the involvement of the close social circle of the victims, as follows: 12 victims died at the hands of their current partners, 8 were killed by former partners or men they had separated from, 3 died at the hands of family members, and one was killed by the owner of the property in which she was residing, while investigations have not yet determined the nature of the relationship of three victims to the perpetrators.
