President Erdogan’s AK Party is considering whether to pull Turkey out of an international accord designed to protect women, party officials said, alarming campaigners who see the pact as key to combating rising domestic violence. Despite signing the Council of Europe accord in 2011, pledging to prevent, prosecute and eliminate domestic violence and promote equality, Turkey saw 474 femicides last year, double the number seen in 2011, according to a group which monitors murders of women. Many conservatives in Turkey say the pact, ironically forged in Istanbul, encourages violence by undermining family structures.

Turkey wants to become another North Korea. They are doing great so far.
It seems parties who make a big deal of 'family values' seem keen to reduce the rights and protection of women. Too many women get stuck in abusive relationships.
Siempre es necesario realizar, cambios urgentes.
