Women's Demonstration For Istanbul Convention

Women wearing protective face masks seen during a protest against the recent femicides and violence against women in Istanbul, Turkey on August 5, 2020. They requested the Istanbul Convention (Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence) to come to force in Turkey, since violence against women has dramatically increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Turkey in November 2011 had become the first signatory state that approved the convention in its parliament, with the support of all four parties represented at the time. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) now demands to withdraw from the convention, and pro-AKP circles launch campaigns against it. (Photo by Erhan Demirtas/NurPhoto)
