Kurdish television networks that consider themselves part of the free press tradition blacked out their screens for one minute to protest violence against women. 

Stêrk TV, Medya Haber TV, Jin TV, Aryen TV, Cira TV and Ronahi TV blacked out their screens this Monday at 17:00.

The networks report to have done so as part of November 25 Day Against Violence Against Women. 

The blackouts will continue throughout the week.
