President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plans to withdraw Turkey from the so-called Istanbul Convention on domestic violence against women has angered many Turkish women – including his own party supporters and even some of his relatives. After studies at Indiana University in the US, she obtained an MA in economics from the London School of Economics, LSE, in 2008. However if it is a small village house, a big round stand will be placed in the middle of the floor and everyone will sit around that to help themselves to food in the middle.

Erdogan has also targeted individuals and media organizations that have criticized him personally. Need to translate "family values" to Turkish?
“The only movement that can take to the streets in Turkey now is the women’s movements and the movement is getting stronger,” Oney said. Karaca also thinks that the AKP’s policies have made women more united. He seems to support withdrawing from the treaty. “According to polls, the majority of the AKP electorate is women. Erdogan personally sued Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the Turkish Republican People’s Party (CHP), who used those words against him. The government claims the move is necessary as “individualism” has become one of many “grave dangers” facing traditional values in the country. Violence against women is a betrayal of humanity,” Fatma Betul Sayan-Kaya, former minister for women and the family and deputy chairperson of the AKP, wrote on Twitter on August 3. The Istanbul Convention “made no contribution to our society”, TUGVA said in a statement on August 3. That is why they are not against the convention,” Karaca said. Here's how you say it. Turkey’s ruling Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) will begin to inspect all media, including social media, to ensure it promotes “traditional family values” and not “individualism,” in the wake of an increasingly draconian string of arrests and lawsuits directed at dissidents. To summarize Turkish culture and traditions in one article is impossible because the diversity of heritage across the country varies and other cultures such as Greek, Armenian, Georgian, and Arabic practises have been woven in … “The people who object to the Istanbul Convention are a small group but they have access to the government and can make a noise,” Oney added. On August 5, thousands of women from a wide spectrum staged simultaneous protests in different Turkish cities, including the largest cities of Istanbul, Izmir, Eskisehir and the capital Ankara, in support of the convention. Sumeyye’s brother, Bilal, is also active in the NGO sector and is a founder and board member of the Turkey Youth Foundation, TUGVA, though he has different ideas to his sister. Oney said the AKP will have a tough time persuading senior female AKP politicians and NGOs like KADEM to swallow withdrawal from the convention. “The AKP is divided because of this anger,” Karaca added. “Turkey received a downward trend arrow due to renewed violence between the government and Kurdish militants, terrorist attacks by the Islamic State [in Iraq and the Levant or ISIL] group, and intense harassment of opposition members and media outlets by the government and its supporters ahead of November parliamentary elections,” according to Freedom House. This week, a Turkish court announced two editors of the newspaper Cumhuriyet — editor-in-chief Can Dundar and Ankara bureau head Erdem Gul — will face life imprisonment for publishing a story on arms shipments to Syria. A total of 416 women were killed in 2019. They thought that they will accept this move without any objection but they were wrong. Hurriyet reports that a number of government agencies — “including ministries of family and social policies, culture and tourism, youth and sports, national education and the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), Turkey’s media watchdog” — will collaborate to censor all media. “The Istanbul Convention was the first international agreement to provide protection for women from any kind of violence in a legal framework,” KADEM said in a statement, rebuffing claims that the convention promotes LGBTI issues and is one reason for the high number of divorces. “The postponement is the result of the women’s fight, which has continued for a long time. Nursuna Memecan, a former AKP lawmaker who actively attended the writing of the Istanbul Convention as head of Turkish delegation at the Council of Europe, is also grieved by plans to withdraw. (TDHS 1998, p. 4). I’m very sure of myself when I say this,” he said, adding, “The press is so free in Turkey that one can make insults, slanders, defamation, racism and commit hate crimes that are not tolerated even in democratic countries.”, Israel / Middle EastNational SecurityAKPfree speechIslamRecep Tayyip ErdoganTurkey. They also see the anger of their female electorate. Life expectancy is sixty-six years for men and seventy-one years for women. Life in a Turkish Family is certainly different to what I am used to. “The signing of the Istanbul Convention was really wrong,” AKP deputy chairperson Numan Kurtulmus said in a TV interview in July. “They are the architects of the Istanbul Convention,” Oney said. “Discussing a convention that has been in force for years is ironic. Erdogan is demanding Kılıçdaroğlu pay up to 100,000 Turkish lira ($33,086) in fines.
“It also became the part of women’s movements with a conservative and religious difference,” she added. “Although KADEM is a policy tool for Erdogan’s party, they have found themselves in a dilemma, as the AKP plans to withdraw from the convention that they worked for. “Measures will be taken to ensure that visual, aural and social media, news, tabloids, films and similar types of productions conform to our traditional family values,” the AKP government noted in a statement. In May 2015, Cumhuriyet published a story reporting that Turkish security forces had stopped a truck convoy carrying weapons shipments en route to Syria, indicating the government had begun to arm Syrian rebels through its intelligence agency, the MIT, and without public knowledge. KADEM, including Erdogan’s daughter, were actively involved in the Istanbul Convention process, especially in having the convention signed in the Turkish city in 2011, alongside other senior AKP names such as former ministers Fatma Sahin, Fatma Betul Sayan-Kaya and former MP Nursuna Memecan. The Istanbul Convention refers to the informal name of the Council of Europe’s Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. Abdurrahman Dilipak, a pro-AKP media columnist, accused KADEM and other AKP names of being behind of the convention, and even called the women who defended the convention “prostitutes”. Turkey has a young age structure: 10 percent of the population is under five years of age and 32 percent below the age of fifteen. But senior AKP names and Islamist intellectuals have recently said the convention undermines family values and promotes LGBTI identities, and some AKP leaders strongly defend the decision to withdraw. It did not specify what constitutes “family values,” or note any specific examples of content that would violate this measure. “Nowhere in the world is the press freer than it is in Turkey. The insert included illustrations of Muhammad, which are considered haram. Among close friends and family members, hugs or gentle pats on the back are quite common. “The AKP wants to transform the family and its values and KADEM was established for this purpose and became an important policy tool for Erdogan,” Sevda Karaca, a women’s right activist at the Rose and Bread Initiative told BIRN. Sezin Oney, a political scientist and journalist based in Istanbul, told BIRN: “Although violence against women is very widespread and the number of femicides is very high, violence against women is a red line for Turkish society”, in that many do not want to discuss it. However, the ruling AKP has changed its position during its 18 years in power, and has generally become more Islamist and conservative.
The government should have convinced women before making such a decision but they did not do so because male decision makers thought that women would follow their suit,” Oney explained. Karaca said many women who voted for the AKP now think their rights risk being eroded by the policies of the government they helped elect. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks during the first session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conference in Istanbul, Turkey, 09 December 2019. They obviously underestimated women.”. In 2014, Erdogan dismissed allegations that his government had begun curbing freedom of expression nationally. The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demonstrated little hesitation in using the power of the courts to punish political dissenters, or even reporters who cover stories that do not show the AKP in a positive light.
