Violence against women is not only rife in Turkey but the government now is talking about abandoning the international treaty and removing the protection it offers women. In 2013, the year after Turkey signed the Istanbul Convention, the figure was 237. His daughter, Sumeyye, is vice-president of Kadem, which is opposed to leaving the Istanbul Convention. It turns out that most respondents confused the Istanbul Convention with the Montreux Convention, a 1936 agreement concerning control of the Dardanelles strait. It seems the women of Turkey cannot rely on their own government to respect their rights.
