KEYSER France contact photographer • TURKEY: Honor suicides
"KILL YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY WILL KILL YOU"

In Turkey, honor suicides are now replacing honor killings for girls who bring "shame" on their families.

Perched on the edge of the sofa so that her feet just reach the floor, Derya, 17, is the picture of innocence: large almond eyes, too long jeans turned up at the cuff, Alice headband. But Derya is here at this women's shelter in rural Turkey because her family want her dead. Her crime: talking to a maleclassmate on her cell phone - the closest thing many teens have to date in strict societies before marriage.
