Özet:

Although women live in different conditions in different geographies, they are exposed to almost similar forms of violence. Violence against women is not only a problem of our time, it will remain among the problems that will exist in the past and even in the future. For this reason, it is very important to generate permanent solutions to combat violence against women. Turkey has achieved numerous gains in the legal field when it comes to combatting violence against women based on women empowerment. Various institutional mechanisms have been established and relevant institutions have put in place specific programs, action plans, strategy documents and practices in order to reflect existing legislation via real life implementation. This study will focus on the legal regulations adopted within the scope of the Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, also known as the Istanbul Convention due to being signed in Istanbul, as well as amendments to relevant legislation within this context. The study will also elaborate on examples of implementation developed within the scope of combatting violence against women.
