Ka-Mer

Ka-Mer is a Turkish women's group that finds shelter for and offers legal aid to women who have been threatened by their relatives.

We have to bring these killings out from the shadows and teach women about their rights. The laws have been changed, but the culture here will not change overnight. — Ayten Tekay, a caseworker for Ka-Mer in Diyarbakır.[1][2]
