Turkey's rate of murdered women skyrockets
From 2003 till 2010, there has been a 1,400% increase in the number of slain women. Three factors, including that the value of women in Turkish society has always been low, are at work.
In a TV studio in Istanbul, an awkward yet telling moment unfolded for the cameras. During a show similar to America's "The Bachelor," a new bachelor was introduced: Sefer Calinak.
Before 2000, Calinak was convicted of murdering his two previous wives. He served 4½ years for his first murder and six years for the second. Calinak was in search of a new spouse.
