I saw this flag used in a pro-feminist demonstration in Istanbul, Turkey, c.
July 2021, but I do not know whether or not its use is limited just to Turkey.

Purple flags with multiple female symbols in various colors might be used in
Turkey only, but purple flags with a single white female symbol are not limited
to Turkey - they are also used in Spain, and probably in other countries as
well. Examples from Spain include:
- Huelva, 2018:

- Alcaņiz, 2020:

Shape and size of the symbol may vary somewhat, as well as the shade of
purple, but the basic design is the same, so it can be considered the same flag.
Another very similar flag from Turkey:

Another feminist flag from Turkey, with only three female symbols on
purple field:

More variations probably exist.
