In Turkey, where at least 1134 women were murdered between 2010 and 2015, “dying the hair”, “buying new clothes”, “not cooking meatballs”, “not passing the salt” or just “being annoyed” were used as excuses for femicide. Murderers are the husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons, brother of those women; in short, they are killed by their relatives.
