Turkish Daily News: Murder a fact of life for women in Turkey - In 2002, 66 women were murdered. In 2009, almost 1,000 were murdered. Gender inequality and increasing conservatism are blamed. Turkey's population is just under 78 million. That's not quite as big as the 3 most populous US states combined (California, Texas, New York). By US standards, that's a low murder rate (as of 2009 there were over 15,000 murders total in the US).
