Domestic violence proliferates as an ingrained part of family life. in Türkiye. Türkiye has had a Ministry of Family and Social Services for some 12 years. This ministry has been outrageously useless in terms of protecting women or children, the latter also part of the ministry mandate. Child abuse is currently enjoying a growth spurt – 33% increase between 2021 and 2022. Abusers act with impunity. Women fare no better, with one woman killed by a partner, spouse or relative (i.e. family) almost every day of the 365-day year.
How sad, if not ridiculous, to see hatred of LGBT+ choices and gender preferences whipped up to masquerade as support for happy families. And protecting the family 'in the name of national security' rings positively idiotic.
