The Istanbul Convention was adopted to prevent violence against women and domestic violence, which has been an ongoing issue in Turkey for years. However, this law protecting women has not been implemented properly and it is now completely abolished.

While the government is taking away our right to live from us overnight in the women's history month; women are being killed, tortured, and their murders are being covered up. 78 women were murdered by men in the first 78 days of 2021.

If you are not aware of the contents of the Istanbul Convention please continue reading. Because the rights given to women by law are vital for all women; 

● Placement of women and children in a shelter

● Providing temporary protection in cases where life is threatened

● Removing the person who showed violence from the house and preventing them from approaching the woman’s addresses such as housing, school, workplace

● Preventing the attacker from contacting the woman via communication tools such as telephone, mail, social media,

● Hiding the address of the woman who has been subjected to violence in order not to be seen by any institution

● Change of workplace can be requested

● The violator to surrender his gun to the police (even if he is serving as a police and gendarmerie)

● Temporary financial assistance

● Temporary custody and child support

How you can help;

There are links to petitions you can sign in this carrd

Spread awareness and be our voice in your social platforms, it really does make a difference

You can tweet in tags #AklınızdanBileGeçirmeyin (meaning DontEvenThinkAboutIt referring to the abolishing of the convention) and #istanbulsozlesmesiyasatir (meaning istanbulconventionsaveslives) on Twitter

I’m extremely enraged right now. Turkish government withdrew from İstanbul Convention today, putting women’s lives at more risk than ever!

I’m only asking you tumblr users to help us to get our voices heard

Making #istanbulsozlesmesiyasatir and #aklinizdanbilegecirmeyin is one way to spread our voices on Twitter

In the past social media is actually effective in forcing government to do something

Another way is that signing this, there is Turkish, English, French and Italian versions explaining the situation

Summary of what’s happening in Turkey:

PLEASE READ AND SHARE FOR THE SAFETY OF TURKISH WOMEN AND LGBTQ+ PEOPLE MOST.

Marvel movies, for example, are full of imperialist (and pro-military) propaganda! And the Western animation industry and Hollywood in general are awful and full of pedophilia within the shows themselves and the writers’ rooms! And yet people continue to watch them and, while people do call out the bad stuff, no one mounts full on campaigns that demand a total boycott/moratorium on watching all Hollywood movies and cartoons, under pain of being seen as evil. But people who watch anime are held under scrutiny and told to give it up wholesale? What sense does that make?
