​​​​​​​Demonstrations in Turkey reject threats to dissolve "We will stop the killing of women" platform

​​​​​​​Hundreds of protesters went out yesterday, in several Turkish cities, including Istanbul and Ankara, in demonstrations rejecting threats to dissolve "We will stop the killing of women" platform.

Fidan A'atta Salem, general secretary of "We will stop the killing of women" platform, told AFP news agency "Stopping our struggle is not possible, we will not allow our association to be closed."

'Do not go after women, but killers!'

While hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Istanbul, chanting, "Do not go after women, but killers!",  representatives of opposition parties and family members of the victims participated in the demonstration in Istanbul, according to AFP.

Turkish authorities filed a lawsuit against "We will stop the killing of women" platform, on Wednesday.

And "We will stop the killing of women" is a Turkish non-governmental platform concerned with monitoring crimes of violence against women, issues official statistics on the number of murders and violence committed against women, and opposes all forms of violence against women.
