Violence Against Women is a Human Rights Violation

This petition was published by Yeni Kadin on Nov 16, 2009

The dual oppression and exploitation of women which in general is called “Women’s Question” is in fact not only a problem of women but of the entire society.
Therefore, to prevent violence against women being a part of human rights violations;

1. The sentences for violence against women should be dissuasive and there should be specific education on this subject in society.

2. Sufficient shelters should be facilitated for women suffering violence, at the shelters women should receive education on how to protect themselves and oppurtunities to work should be provided for.

3. Domestic work should be salarised,

4. We demand facilities such as nursing rooms and child care in offices without these, to be facilitated for working mothers.

With above demands we strongly oppose all kinds of violence and abuse against women and call upon the Ministry for familiy and the entire society to solidarity.
