We Stand By All Our Women Who Are Exposed To Violence

Violence against women is one of the most urgent issues that must be confronted.

Although we, as his son Uğur and his wife Nurten, are away from domestic violence in our nuclear family —a family our late father Salih Tatlıcı established with the principles of love, respect, and equality— unfortunately, there are negative examples in our extended family history.

We know that education and academic degrees do not solve the problems at the root of violence, and we believe that violence against women should be handled with character education and awareness.

We reject violence against women and support the dignity, safety and equal rights of every woman.

We wish all women to live in a happy, healthy and loving world without being subjected to violence. . .

25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly declared 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The reason why this day was designated as 25 November is based on an event that took place in the Dominican Republic in 1960.

Three sisters, the Mirabal Sisters, known for their opposition to Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the country under dictatorship, were brutally murdered by strangulation and beatings days after Trujillo’s statement that “There are two dangers in the country, the Church and the Mirabal Sisters”.

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…
