What traditional values? Rape and murder?

I'm a Turkish woman and I remember the night the withdrawal was on the news and how I cried my eyes out. It was like 2 a.m. and women rights activists could only protest the next day. DV is widespread in Turkey and Istanbul Convention made sure that even if you didn't have a proof of violence or rape, you would still get protection from government and police. Radical islamist and traditional scrotes claimed that it destroyed family values and since ruling party f*cked up the economy and didn't have any other chance than aiming at religious people, pulled out the convention. I don't feel safe here. Harassments and assaults in the street have been increasing since that day. Men threaten women with rape on the internet. They hate us and don't have a reason to hide it.

Edit: Oppression of women in my country made me realize a lot of things. I am & will always be childfree, I see marriage as a tool of patriarchy and I know how men don't value women they have sex with. I know their games and tactics. Religion only benefits to men and is another tool. Reading radfem theory also opened my eyes. Now, all I want is to get into med school (I'm 19 yo), have financial freedom, have a circle of female friends and live my life.

Ironic, Turkey was the first country to ratify the convention.

Polish Minister of Justice said last year that the Istanbul Convention is a "feminist creation aimed at justifying gay ideology". They beginned preparations for withdrawal. There were protests on the streets, but PiS, the ruling party, will probably do whatever they want.

There's a convention against raping and killing women?

Can someone tell the men 😩

The fact that we have a convention to simply protect women is utterly shameful. (Which is otherwise plain common sense)

The reasoning was to stop woman from Emanzipation and protect „traditional“ family values.

Stop woman = women being more aware and not ready to bow down to oppressive practices in the name of tradition.

There's also the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) from 1979, it's been ratified by 189 states. It's like a bill of rights for women. The U.S. has signed but not ratified it..

There's also an optional Protocol to the Treaty that permits individuals to lodge complaints to the CEDAW Committee.

The more you know! :)

I'd like to add turkey to the list of countries whose women and children I'd like to rescue ...and then seal the MF frontiers so not a fly ( much less and scr0.te can EVER get out of).
