	ANKARA - According to our July violence tally, 27 women were killed by their closest relatives, and eight women died suspiciously. In July, when 11 children were exposed to abuse, the court’s good conduct times continued.

	&nbsp;

	The Istanbul Convention, which was terminated on March 20 by the Presidential Decree, was completely repealed on July 1. The demands of the women, who responded to the abolition of the convention with a rebellion on July 1, were ignored. While the government did not take any measures against the increasing femicides and male violence, as a result, many women and children were targeted by male violence in July. While the perpetrators make familiar excuses for violence, the judiciary insists on giving ‘’good conduct times’’ to these excuses.

	As Jinnews, 27 women were killed in July, according to the data we gathered from the monthly news.
