In recent years, suspicious deaths, often portrayed as "falls from a height," have been increasingly associated with femicides in Turkey. This phenomenon coincided with the official withdrawal process from the "Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence" (Istanbul Convention). Our study aims to reveal the impact of Turkey's withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention on femicides and the yet officially unrecognized "suspicious female deaths." This research, conducted in a descriptive, cross-sectional epidemiological style, draws its population from records of suspicious female deaths and femicides that occurred in Turkey between January 1, 2020, and June 1, 2023. There has been a notable increase in the rate of suspicious female deaths. Additionally, a significant rise has been observed in the proportion of women who were employed, had children, and sought legal protection in these deaths. The study suggests a return to the Istanbul Convention.
近年来，在土耳其，常被描述为“高处坠落”的可疑死亡事件与杀害妇女行为的关联日益增加。这一现象与土耳其正式退出《欧洲防止和打击暴力侵害妇女及家庭暴力公约》（《伊斯坦布尔公约》）的进程同时发生。我们的研究旨在揭示土耳其退出《伊斯坦布尔公约》对杀害妇女行为以及尚未得到官方认可的“可疑女性死亡”事件的影响。这项研究采用描述性横断面流行病学方式，研究对象来自2020年1月1日至2023年6月1日期间在土耳其发生的可疑女性死亡和杀害妇女行为的记录。可疑女性死亡比率显著上升。此外，在这些死亡事件中，就业、育有子女并寻求法律保护的女性比例也大幅上升。该研究建议重新加入《伊斯坦布尔公约》。
