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]
