The Real War on Women

(Istanbul, Turkey) From Bianet - News in English:
According to the tally compiled by bianet, male perpetrators in Turkey killed 24 women in February; ten women were injured; ten women were raped; 16 women were sexually harassed.[…]

Most of the female victims in February were killed by their husbands. Eleven women were murdered by their husbands; three by men they had previously rejected; two by men they did not know; two by their older brothers; one by her father, one by her former husband, one by her husband she was married to in an imam wedding and one by her boy-friend.

Most of the murders were committed with knives. 13 women were stabbed to death; four were shot with a pump rifle; two with a hunting gun; three with a pistol and one woman was killed with an axe.

One of the killed women had previously obtained a restraining order for her husband. Another woman had complained about her murderer nine times before the offence.
When the mainstream media trumpet a "War on Women" in the U.S., I suggest the media are manufacturing a story for useful idiots. A War on Women is occurring but it's not in the United States.
