Abstract :

Unfortunately violence in many different forms is commonly exercised and an all time topical subject in the Republic of Turkey. The issues of violence against women, children and especially domestic violence are a very serious problem, as well. There are many components that should be addressed within this topic from the legal system to educational system. The vast majority of the population is under educated when it comes to identity of women, child development, and so on. Biggest mistake however, is the perception of this problem as if it is a technical issue not a structural issue. If the structural components which some of them previously mentioned, would be addressed in a coherent and comprehensive manner, only then concrete steps in order to prevent and solve domestic violence issue would be meaningfully taken.
