Abstract

Violence against women is an important problem in our age. To combat violence against women it is necessary to provide gender equality. Women may be subjected to violence because of their gender. Certain types of violence, in particular, domestic violence affect women disproportionately. Gender equlity requires social economic and political equality. For this, it is necessary to provide distrubitive justice and a change of cultural understanding in terms of gender equality. In this article, the requirements of gender equality will be explained regarding the standards of equality. Accordingly, the meaning of gender equality and its requirements will be determined.

Violence against women; besides being a violation of human rights, it is a form of discrimination. Both occur in public as well as private areas. Physical violence that is applied to women is not just about beating, wouding and killing. Violence against women enbodies sexaul violence that is sexual harrassment and sexual assault; psychological violence that is every kind of humiliation and insult; and economical violence that does not allow woman or confiscate the money she earns. 

Violence against women is made on the basis of gender. So, violence is applied simple because she is a women and this affects women disproportionatley.

To prevent violence against women, we must ensure gender equality. The main causes of violence towards against women stems from this inequality. At this point, there are four tasks that was assigned by countries under the Istanbul Contract on how to prevent violence against women. These include; Creation policy, prevention policy, protection-supporting policy and punishment-prosecution policy tasks. The most important part of changing gender perception is education
