IN A NUTSHELL<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the decision to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention, a human rights treaty of the Council of Europe drafted in 2011 to combat violence against women and domestic violence. Last Thursday, Turkey officially withdrew from the convention.<\/p>\n

Violence against women and domestic violence is a violation of the human rights of the \u201cright to life\u201d, \u201cright to physical, mental and moral integrity\u201d, \u201cright to security of person\u201d, and \u201cequal rights of men and women.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACHRS condemns Turkey\u2019s decision to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention as it demonstrates a lack of protection of these human rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
