The Socio-Political Field Research Center has announced figures on the types of violence reflected in the media. The figures cover the period between 1 June and 31 August 2021.

News and data from We Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP), Bianet, Jin News, Mezopotamya Agency, Anıt Sayaç and many news agencies were used to compile the report.

The report pointed out that very few of the violence against women, which is common in society, were reported in the press, and added that most of the women murdered by men were in the places where they should feel safest (at home) and by the people they should trust most (husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons, brothers).

According to the report, 83 women were killed, 39 women died suspiciously, 158 women were injured due to violence, 39 women were subjected to "harassment", 18 women were subjected to "sexual abuse" and 5 women were "raped" in the last 3 months.

The report added that 15.4 percent of sexual assault perpetrators are "friends", 7.7 percent "fathers" and 7.7 percent "partners".

The report said that 22.2 percent of those responsible for sexual assaults of children were their fathers, 16.7 percent their neighbors and 5.6 percent their teachers.

While 16.7 percent of the perpetrators were identified as spouses, 8.3 percent as colleagues and 4.2 percent as boyfriends in harassment cases, "colleague" ranks first with 20 percent in rape cases.

The cities with the highest number of murders of women are Istanbul with 16.9 percent, Balıkesir with 7.2 percent, Konya with 7.2 percent and Antalya with 4.8 percent. In terms of sexual assaults, Istanbul ranks first with 23.1 percent, together with Muğla.
