PREVENTING AND COMBATING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: CASE OF TURKEY

Abstract

In a patriarchal society, violence against women is part of the expression of the legitimacy of male domination. This horror, as old as mankind itself, must end soon. Women should start to realize that they are far more valuable than men, more than just ideal mothers. Women should understand that their values and powers go beyond the role of being good and obedient girls. Women's potentials should be used beyond superficial things. Today, women need to know how to achieve success and achieve meaningful goals and objectives rather than supporting other achievements. Strong women pursue personal accomplishments, promote themselves and contribute to society as a whole. This article in particular is trying to raise awareness about the elimination of all forms of violence against violence in recent years to analyze and women against women as a widespread phenomenon in Turkey. Violence against a woman is the greatest dignity of humanity. At the same time, violence against women is obviously an indicator of helplessness. In order to completely eliminate this event, first of all, awareness should be raised against violence against women; Turkish society should be educated to support and protect women who are subjected to violence.
