‘I won’t kill you but I will make you crawl’. That’s what Arzu’s husband told her as he shot her six times in the arms and legs and then calmly waited for the police. His motivation: she asked for a divorce.

DYING TO DIVORCE is a brand new observational documentary about the women fighting against domestic abuse and the murder of women in Turkey. Last year alone nearly three hundred women were killed- the majority were seeking a divorce or separation. And the men are literally getting away with murder by using legal loopholes to argue they were ‘provoked’ by their wives.

Our film follows a group of female lawyers, activists, MP’s and survivors as they tackle this violence head-on; fighting to change the law and to bring violent husbands to justice. It will explore both sides of these stories and hear the perpetrators own reflections on their actions. HOW YOU CAN HELP? We have already shot some footage for the film but we still have a lot to do. Over the summer, Chloe Fairweather, the director has been filming in Turkey with survivors of violence and following some extraordinary stories but to follow these stories to completion, we need your help.
