Activists from YJK-E and TekoJIN set up an information table in front of Monchengladbach’s main train station to promote the campaign and collect signatures Sunday afternoon.

A petition launched on November 25 on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women aims to have Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan indicted by the UN as responsible for the Turkish regime's misogynistic policies and to have femicides recognized internationally as crimes against humanity.

The activists held numerous talks with interested persons and conveyed the stories of 100 women who represent countless women for whose deaths Erdoğan is held responsible. The Kurdish women's movement wants to collect a total of 100,000 signatures as part of its campaign.

According to the Mor Çatı (Purple Roof) Women's Foundation, the number of femicides in Turkey has increased a thousandfold since the AKP came to power in 2002. Sexual violence against children has also increased dramatically and has at least tripled.
