In Turkey, punishment issues are troubled. Since the perpetrators offer reasons that cannot be confirmed but confirmed by the judge their duration in jail is shortened. These are some reasons that given by them.

"She spoke of my manhood"

"She swore at me "

"There was a male voice inside the house ”

These are just a few of them. Also, there are killers who only get a discount wearing a tie in their courts.

Society plays an important role in every global situations. When we look at the issues of violence against women, the society is separated into two groups. There are people who try to do something about the situation. However, large majority of the society don't do anything. For example;
In Gaziantep, a man started to beat his wife in front of his child but what did people do? NOTHING! Here I share the link so you can click and get more information.

We know that in Turkey the rate of violence against women has increased for years. Every year this rate continues to increase uncontrollably. There are so many researches about the rate so when we look at the chart below we can see how this rate has increased.

In the 2014 survey, 36% of women were subjected to physical violence by their spouses or ex-spouses at any time in their lives.

On the other hand, in 2019 there is a survey done by two teaching staffs from Kadir Has University and they asked "What is the biggest problem of women in Turkey?". For the last 5 years the answer is violence but the rate of people who say violence is increasing every year.

When we pay attention to what the authorized ones in Turkish government say, we can't say it is very pleasent.

As they are the leaders of the public, we expect the goverment to be reasonable and thoughtful but surprisingly it does the opposite; the government don't try to stop this violence, on the contrary, it instigates the violence.

Here we have some statements from some of our government members:
The Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN said "You can't bring the man and the women to the same position, it's against nature."

The Vice Prime Minister Bülent ARINÇ said "Chastitiy is very important...The women do not laugh among all." And another example is "Hush as a women."

Another example is from Prior Mayor of Ankara. The sentence is "The women who were raped be dead."
There are many examples like these.

Although the government does not seem supportive, the women should be persistent and demand the justice.

When one say violence, others may think the physical violence but there is not one type of violenece.

1-Sexual Violence
It contains sexual acts that are forced against someone’s will. These acts can be physical, verbal, or emotional. There are many types of sexual
violence but all types involve victims who do not consent or are unable to
consent.

2-Psychological Violence
It is psychological damage on the part of the agent who is being violated. The majority of human beings may have been a victim of some form of psychological violence at some point of their life. Without a proper notion of
a self it is difficult to devise effective strategies for coping with the damages inflicted by those violent acts.

3-Intimate Partner Violence occurs between two people in a close relationship. Intimate
partners may be current or former spouses or dating partners.

4-Emotional Violence
It is the actions to one
partner to the another such as despising, humiliation, menacing, forcing,manupilating weakness and controlling.

To get out of these
violence scrapes we should first identify the type of violence that we are
subjected to.

What are the characteristics of an abuser?

# data[].attributes.body
Before exposing the violence we can predict what would an abuser do by looking these characeritstics of the abuser:

-An abuser can easily get angry and he can insult you when he is angry.

-He is heavily jealous and states that it is because of his love towards you. Don't believe him!

-He has a poor self-image.

-He may be cruel to animals and/or children.

-He often uses physical force during an argument.

-He is very controlling of others and interferes your life a lot.

-He may see women as inferior to men, stupid and unable to be a whole person without a relationship.

-He admitted hitting others in the past maybe, but he will claim the victim “asked for” it. An abuser will beat any woman he is with; situational circumstances do not make a person abusive.

-He tend to be moody and unpredictable. He may be nice one minute and the next minute explosive.

-He may try to cut you off from social supports, accusing the people who act as your support network of "causing trouble."

These features can be multiplied. What matters is your awareness and protecting yourself from this type of people.

When we look at the roles of the men on TV series, we notice that men are presented to us as a strong, rich, handsome and rude characters. Also the women in these series and the young girls go after them. There is something wrong with it, right? It doesn't seem to be true. But we see thousands of examples.
TV series such as; Sen Anlat Karadeniz, Istanbullu Gelin, Karagül and Aşk Ağlatır are the most watched series today. They include this type of characters. Is the media aware of what they cause to the society? Not sure.

When it comes to misogynism, we can say that it is common mostly among the women. Today's women generally dig a pit for each other, bandy about each other's name, critisize and insult each other.

Besides, women think that they are incompetent in comparison to men. In Turkey especially, this thought is highly common. Women think that men are stronger and better than them in many aspects; men can work in hard jobs, they are paid more, they are more stiff, less emotional, they supply the woman with money, they give affection etc. This makes women think that men are the source of power and authority. Therefore,
when a violence case occurs in a relationship, other fellows of the woman say that it is her fault, she deserves the violence. Plus the woman herself think so! This is such an injustice to the women themselves.

Before the Islam,in Turkish ancestry women were treated with honour.  They were influential person in the house, they were going to the wars time to time, they were riding horses, they were using arrow and they had a right in authority.

But with Islam and it’s culture, the men's views towards women changed. Men began to treat women insultingly. They secluded women and started to see women as an object which men can commit sins on. Also, women thought this was true and they must obey the men because they thought that the
opposite was forbidden by religion.

The mistake was, people did not do what God tells them. Instead, they accepted the culture of the society in which the Quran was sent to correct the corruption of that era. They perform this culture today. This
leads to wrong interpreting and today's women do suffer because of this mistake.

The media plays an important role in violence against women.
Media organizations legitimize rape by spreading news and magazine programs, spreading violence and further damaging women's identity.
Information that is reported on women who are the victims of sexual harassment and rape leads to misconceptions about rape.
The language of the media is really important because sometimes it can be encouraging. If we do not see the news of violence, then women have the perception that they are not exposed to violence at all. There is no public reaction and these people do not serve their sentences properly. In most cases, the accused benefits from the reduction of good conduct owing to the power of the media.

It is a contract that handles violence against women and domestic violence extensively.It is the first international contract that uses the concept 'social gender'.It foresees an approach that consists of 4P(prevention, protection,prosecution and policy making).

One of its significant traits is that it mentions about the discrimination against LGBTQI people explicitly.

On the whole, the contract aims to decrease domestic violence, violence against people, discrimination between genders and ideas.

Here I share a link that contains the whole text of the Istanbul Contract.You can look at it.

In this part, I want to write about a few woman victims that was killed cruelly by ruthless men.

Münevver Karabulut
She was killed by her boyfriend Cem Garipoğlu in 2009. She was only 18. Her body was broken to pieces and put into a garbage container.

Sinem Yurdanur
She was a university student in Bursa. She was killed by Emrah Kaya in 2010. He choked her as she didn't show interest to him. Her corpse was founded 3 years after the murder.

Özgecan Aslan
She was killed in 2015 when she was 20. Suphi Altındöken cut her wrists, burned the body and threw it to a stream. She only wanted a driver to take her home but it ended up with a disaster.

Emine Bulut
She was killed in front of her daughter by her ex husband Fedai Baran in 2019. She died between the screams 'I don't want to die!' and 'Mom!Don't die!'.

For the last 17 years 15.000 women have been slaughtered. This rate is going up day by day. We should think what the reason of it is and what we can do.

Below, I share a video that tells the story of a few women victims. I highly advise you to watch it.

In Turkey, generally, women are looked down on. Some people think that they deserve violence by men. Some people, on the other hand, think that men can never use violence against women. They are the most precious existence in the world.

Therefore, the people who are on women's side try to raise awareness against violence. They start protests, strikes and some people found
non-governmental
organizations for women. They condemn the violence using media. Doing these, they try to make the society aware of the realities.

I share a news link here. It is a news about Chilean feminists who protested the violence against women with dancing. It has spreaded all around the world. I advise you to
look at it.

Economical situation of a family is one of the main factors of violence.
Actually, it determines the level of violence. If the economic level of a family is low, it leads to some arguments between partners.  Their stress level is high and they have many challenges since they can't get by. So, they could blame each other and mostly the woman is exposed to violence.

# data[].attributes.body
Another reason of violence in Turkey is that women have lower education level when compared to men. In the past, only boys were sent to school. People thought girls didn't need to study which was totally wrong.

As we are still in a patriarchal society, in some parts of Turkey the same perception is valid. As women have lower education level, they don't have economical independence. So,they depend on their husbands. Accordingly, when they are exposed to violence they don't have the courage to defend themselves and oppose to their husbands. Hence, girls must be educated if they don't want to be a slave of a man in the future.

As you know, the rate of literate people has increased and the space between educational level of men and women has decreased finally. You can see this below.

# data[].attributes.body
Society has a big pressure on women in Turkey. As we are in a patriarchal society, what women do is criticized harshly.

There is a perception that men can do everything they want but women don't have this right. So, women are scared to come forward. In cases where they have come forward, unfortunately, they are blamed, shamed and murdered.

When they are exposed to violence they abstain from defending themselves because of the society. Accordingly, what should be changed mainly is the perception of the
society.
