Quoting Cacık:
Can I you all a question ? Do you think enough is done in Turkey to create awareness on a national level about helplines for woman protection ? Does anyone here think it is a shame to admit that you have been attacked ? Is violence against woman taken seriously enough here ? Are most women seen as "asking for it" when they have been attacked ?
|
i didnt make sense of your post, cacik.
if you could make it in more plain language (the language of labor people)  i would appreciate.

I wish to have peoples opinions and answers to the questions I wrote so I mean: do the readers here believe that there is enough awareness (public knowledge throughout the whole country) about where women can go, who women can call when they are desperate ?
is it common for woman to be made to feel (by police, their husbands, the judge) that the woman herself was responsible for the attack or crime against her (i.e. it was not the man's fault but her own - meaning "asking for it").
The reason I ask these questions is that a friend of mine said she thinks crimes are not reported because the victim feels shame or ashamed.
I do hope this is clearer now because I am interested to know what people think about these questions.
Thanks

i agree with you. i myself am from such society. where if you are raped it means its your fault, and you will bear all the consequences. you will be judged by the society, by your own family. and theres no future for you, nobody will respect you, and possibly nobody will marry you.

I pray that all the women in this region of the world find the incredible strength that this woman has...these men are complete cowards hiding behind religion! What are they really afraid of?

I don't think they are afraid of anything, they just enjoy the absolute freedom and power they have. They can do whatever they want, while their wifes are locked up at home cooking dinner and taking care of kids.

Yes, and imagine that some of them even beat and rape the women when they refuse to have sex.
There was something very shocking I saw on a Turkish calender some time ago. It had a list of things that are allowed to do during Ramadan and one of them was: "when you are cooking food, you are allowed to taste it so that your husband is not angry when the food isn't salty or spicy enough". :-S
