Abstract

The study we have conducted throughout Turkey in 2003 is a legal case study pertaining both to physical and sexual domestic violence and has been applied to 1133 subjects. Main objectives of this study are to reveal the importance of the subject for our country, control the efficiency of legal mechanisms and inspect its deficiencies if there are, to contribute to the development of social culture and to the creation of awareness of law state and put forward the need to fulfill the obligations stemming from multilateral supranational conventions signed for our country being a law state for both women and children.
