Women do not give up on the Istanbul Convention

The platform underlined in the report that they took to the streets in many cities of Turkey after the announcement of Turkey to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention. “On June 19th, we were at the "We Don't Give Up on the Istanbul Convention" rally in Maltepe, Istanbul, coming all together with women and LGBTIQ+ organizations from all over Turkey. As Women's Assemblies of the We Will Stop Femicide Platform, we chanted the words ‘Apply the constitution, the law, the convention!’ We are always on the streets with our strong and determined struggle against those who allegedly take measures against femicides and violence against women, support the withdrawal decision from the convention, do not carry out an effective investigation and prosecution in femicide cases and suspicious femicide deaths, try to deepen the discrimination against women and LGBTIQ+s, and hinder our actions. We will continue to be active and fight.”
