We Say NO!! to Violence Against Women

On November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we say NO..! to violence against women.

Our women are the most precious ones who deserve to be loved and respected.

Woman means sacrifice, love, labor, and the foundation of the family.

Violence against women is a betrayal of humanity!

Our women deserve a life worthy of human dignity, free from violence, and equal in a safer world today and every day. We wish for a life where we will not be forced to say no to violence against women, with the hope that our women, the people who shape the future, can live in a more fair, peaceful, secure and peaceful world, and we can remove November 25 from our calendars…

November 25 of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly declared November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The reason why this day is designated as November 25 is based on an event that took place in the Dominican Republic in 1960. Three sisters named Mirabal Sisters, known for their opposition to Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the country with a dictatorship, had been brutally murdered by being strangled and beaten, days after Trujillo said: “There are two dangers in the country: the Church and the Mirabal Sisters.”

We Would Like to Thank Our Readers and Heartfelt Friends

Dear Friends;

We carefully read all the letters and comments that were sent to our website.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Some of our readers, who sent messages via the contact form of our website, stated that they believed that the announcement of the donations was for a “show off.”

As is known, in democratic societies, everyone is free to express their opinion freely— as long as it does not contain insults. We welcome these comments. However, in order to avoid misunderstandings, we deemed appropriate to bring an explanation on this issue:

Pursuant to our much beloved, esteemed, benevolent deceased Salih Tatlıcı’s will to “help people,” Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı have done and continue to do much more than the charitable works featured on this website for years.

Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı, who have always felt the importance of solidarity and cooperation in our customs and traditions by their heart, have always strived to support all actions especially, aimed at the education of girls, protecting the nature, people with disabilities and anyone in need of help, the children who are victims of war, and the elderly, regardless of nationality, religion, race or geographical region. They will continue to lend their helping hands as a duty of humanity.

The announcements on this website are only some of the donations made by Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı.

The sole purpose of publishing these announcements is to encourage our readers to do charitable works and to encourage them to give more help to such institutions, each of which is valuable to all people in need of help, without any discrimination, both in our country and all over the world.

As a matter of fact, as we read from some of the thank-you letters we received, we are very pleased to observe that some of our readers, who explore and watch the institutions we donate to, donate to the same institutions.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers and heartfelt friends.

We respectfully present it.
