Health and Well-Being of Turkish Women

Jack Good Health and Well-being

The Turkish government has recently withdrawn the crucial women's violence treaty, the Istanbul Convention, sparking outrage across Turkey. A big supporter of the convention was President Erdogan's daughter, who also headed KADEM (Women and Democracy Association). The Istanbul Convention was signed back in 2011 in a step to include women not only in the democratic process(es), but also the signing parties (of the treaty) were obliged to prevent, investigate and punish any violence towards women. This recent withdrawal has sparked concern for the health and well-being of the women that will potentially suffer as a result of this change in direction. It is crucial for Turkey to reverse this and for the international community to get involved to make sure they are safe and healthy, thus it would be in aid of achieving the 'Good Health and Well-being' SDG.
