Turkey: Preventing Honor Killings
In parts of Turkey where archaic codes of honor still dominate, murders of women are commonplace - even today. Last year saw 220 such 'honor killings'. Laws designed to prevent them have been tightened mainly in response to pressure from the EU, which has made improved women’s rights a condition for the country's accession.Raised public awareness of the issue has already proved constructive: Increasingly, women who feel under threat are turning to women's groups for support, before it's too late. Our report from Diyarbakir shows how women can be saved from certain death.
