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: https://huelva24.com/art/110408/iu-coloca-la-bandera-feminista-en-el-ayuntamiento-y-ccoo-califica-de-exito-el-siguimiento-de-la-huelga

- Pinto, 2019: https://www.lavozdepinto.com/entrevistas/la-mujer-en-la-actualidad-la-lucha-constante-e-infinita/
- Alcaņiz, 2020: https://www.diariodeteruel.es/bajoaragon/alcaniz-llama-a-la-igualdad-real-entre-hombres-y-mujeres

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: https://www.stgm.org.tr/iv-uluslararasi-feminist-forum-14-15-martta

More variations probably exist.
