In Turkey, hundreds of women have been murdered, in addition to the many opposition politicians targeted.

Omissions

• The figures come from civil-society monitoring (KCDP), not from official Turkish state statistics, which are disputed and generally record lower numbers of gender-related killings.
• KCDP distinguishes between confirmed femicides and 'suspicious deaths' of women (259 such deaths in 2024); the 'hundreds' claim rests on the confirmed femicide category.
• The claim bundles femicides together with the targeting of opposition politicians, two distinct phenomena; the femicide figure is independently verifiable while the political-persecution element is a separate assertion.
• The claim does not specify a period; annual figures (394 in 2024; 136 in H1 2025; 200+ in first 9 months of 2025) all support the 'hundreds' framing.
