Happy Thanksgivings: Turkey wears White Ribbon!
Let ‘Turkey’ (lest we forget the country on Thanksgivings) show some ways today:
The 2nd international conference on ‘Ending Domestic Violence’ came to a close yesterday at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul. Workshops were organised throughout the two-day conference, where groups came together to create proposals and projects with the aim of eliminating violence within the home.
One of the issues discussed was the role of men against domestic violence, especially towards women. It was stated that men needed to speak out. A ‘white ribbon’ campaign was launched encouraging all men to wear a white ribbon in support of women suffering from domestic violence.
