Women are being forced to commit suicide for bringing dishonour on their families, a Sky News investigation in Turkey has revealed.
The disturbing phenomenon appears to be a result of the country's tightening of laws against honour crimes recently in the hope of joining the European Union.
But the stricter sentences handed to men accused of killing women for "shaming" the family are causing a rise in the number of honour suicides, say campaign groups.
Families in predominantly Kurdish southeast Turkey are pressing young daughters or wives to take their own lives to spare the men of the family from serving time.
