Bahçeşehir University Extends Support to Women Facing Violence

The Faculty of Law is launching a new project to prevent violence against women with the participation of German experts from the Max Planck Research Group and American experts.

Within the scope of the project, announced on 8 March International Women's Day, Turkish, American and German academics and jurists will investigate the general causes of the violence that has been increasing in Türkiye recently, giving priority to domestic violence against children and women.

The aim of the first phase of the project is to train, under the leadership of an American expert, Turkish experts who will later organize seminars on domestic violence in different parts of Türkiye. These experts will carry out awareness activities for victims of violence and potential perpetrators in 10 different provinces of the country. In another phase of the project, a website will be set up to reach women facing violence in Türkiye and help them receive legal support.
