I will tell you what the reality for women in Turkey is.
For years since 2011 women are being killed and abused by their ex husbands, husbands, boyfriends, ex boyfriends, brothers, uncles, father, fiends, their uncle, brother in law and even their own son.
You can see here how many women were killed in each year.

She was beaten and knocked out by her ex- boyfriend, then strangled and then buried and put in a barrel and buried under the ground.

Femicide and domestic abuse are an real issue in Turkey. Turkish people are aware it seems the world refuses to talk about it tell everyone you know, you can say I didn’t know but you can’t say you pretend it doesn’t happen
If you don’t mind I need to cry now this was hard
