In the case of Halime Kılıç v. Turkey, the Court found a violation of the right to life and the prohibition of discrimination.

The case concerned the death of the applicant’s daughter, a victim of domestic violence, who was killed by her husband in spite of four criminal complaints, three protection orders and injunctions.

The Court found it unacceptable that the applicant’s daughter had been left powerless and without protection against her husband’s violence. It took the view that by ignoring the repeated acts of violence and death threats against the victim, the authorities had created a climate that was conducive to such violence.
