Turkish women protest against withdrawing from the Domestic Violence Convention. What does this mean?

Turkish women protested against withdrawing from the Convention against Domestic Violence. What does this mean? Let’s take a look. According to CNN, on the 5th local time, thousands of Turkish women held rallies in multiple cities to protest the government’s attempt to withdraw from the Council of Europe’s Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. They said, "The choices are ours, the decisions are ours, the nights are ours, the streets are ours". The rallies chanted slogans to show their support for the Convention against Domestic Violence. They held banners and plaques that read, "Convention We do not allow the cruelty of women in exchange for the blood of women. According to foreign media reports on the 5th, a member of the Justice and Development Party led by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that they are considering whether to withdraw Turkey from the Convention. He said that a small group of people believe that withdrawing is right, but he They believe that abandoning the Convention would send the wrong signal when violence against women is on the rise in Turkey. Others believe that in terms of combating domestic violence, Turkey already has corresponding criminal laws as well as protection of families and prevention of violence against women. Violent laws can guarantee women's rights even if they withdraw from the convention. Turkish activists disagree with their claims. They believe that such rhetoric is just an excuse to withdraw from the convention. The country's human rights activist Ailapu said on the 5th that they cannot openly say that they want women to be their domestic slaves and want to be free to beat women to death if they catch them. The issue of homosexuality is used as a socially acceptable excuse to attack the convention in the hope that homophobia will help them achieve their goal of withdrawing from the convention. I think domestic violence is an act of unfair treatment and does not respect human rights. Such large-scale demonstrations, rallies and uprisings can only show that there is serious domestic violence in Turkey. The family status of Turkish women is very low, and many men and even most of them People believe that women have no human rights and are just their appendages. Such serious sex discrimination and disrespect for women's personality are wrong. 205 women have been killed in Turkey this year. The chairman of the Turkish Women's Association said that the problem of domestic violence in Turkey has been exacerbated by home isolation during the epidemic. Compared to last year, physical violence against women increased by 80% and cases of mental abuse increased by 93%.
