This document summarizes the situation of violence against women in Turkey and argues that justice for women cannot come from capitalist systems that separate religion and state. It outlines various legal changes and policies enacted in Turkey over the past few decades aimed at protecting women, yet violence against women has continued to increase. The document asserts that only by reestablishing the Islamic Khilafah system can true justice and protection for women be achieved, as it ensured women's rights and safety for over 13 centuries. It calls on Muslims to support reestablishing the Khilafah rather than appealing to the current secular Turkish state.

The presentation deals with women rights and human rights violations comprising human rights in India, significance, UDHR and its role, various forms of violation against women, honour killing etc.
The issues that surround female dressing are mere symptoms of the root problem of “The Objectification of the Female Gender.” The problem is simple. The female body (as a whole and in parts) is looked upon as sexual objects to be exploited for everything. In the minds of certain perverted persons and entities, the female as a person does not exist, only pleasurable bodies.5 That is the reason for the abnormal emphasis on baring naked flesh similar to the display of flesh dangling from hooks of a butcher’s shop.

Justice for Women cannot come from Minds Shaped
by Capitalism
The extent which violence against women has reached in Turkey has driven even NGO's to make proposals which express
their despair. Ultimately nobody in Turkey believes anymore that the policies regarding women, who are in need of
protection, practised by the state so far, are sufficient. Moreover, everybody complains that none of the state's units fulfils its
duties regarding the protection of women adequately As a result of this, at the end of February 2014, the "Survival Guide
2014" prepared by Şefkat-Der, who provides shelter for women under violence, suggested to women who face violence and
who are under risk: "[...] in order to defend yourself, wound your partner. [... ] neutralize the potential killer before he kills
you." Furthermore, the woman who faces violence and can not escape was suggested - after consulting an attorney - to
commit a little crime that does not harm others, but leads to a short-time imprisonment, which is to be safer than being
outside. No matter, even if such suggestions were made out of mercy and helplessness, they are just another outcome of
the capitalist liberal values implemented on this Ummah, by separating religion and state affairs, by adopting secularism
which caused people to forget that they will be accounted by Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ one day.
Because, after the removal of the system which was made obligatory upon the Muslims by Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ,ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ the policies
aiming at women implemented by the capitalist way of life, has pushed women in Turkey into the black hole in which they
are today. In order to understand this, it is enough to examine the so-called improvements for women made in the recent
past.
- In 1985, Turkey became part of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)
having been accepted by the United Nations.
- In 1990, Purple Roof Women's Shelter Foundation was founded. Also Article 159 of the Civil Code, which required the
husband's permission for a wife to gain the right to work outside the home was removed.
- In 1991, the Women's Solidarity Foundation was opened in Ankara.
- In 1996, adultery for men was decriminalized for men. A year later, in 1997, adultery for women was decriminalized.
- In 1998, "The Law to Protect Women" was made. This law contained punishments like restraining the perpetrator from the
house or even imprisonment.
- In 2002, the statements: "the husband is the head of the family unit, the husband represents the family unit' were removed
from the Civil Code.
- In 2006, the Directorate General on the Status of Women under the Prime Ministry published the Handbook "Campaign
Against Domestic Violence". This book contains approaches which contradict the Islamic social system diametrically.

- In 2012, Law Nr. 6284 "For the Protection of the Family and Prevention Of Violence Against Women" entered into force.
- Combating Domestic Violence Against Women National Action Plan (2007-2010) (2012-2015) entered into force.
Despite all this, and even more, the situation of women in Turkey worsened day by day. Alone after the AKP came to rule,
violence against women increased by 1400%.
According to data from Police Department's Public Security Directorate, 61 women were murdered in the year 2013. 4 of the
murder victims had a panic button, 6 of the women's husbands had a court restriction and 3 of them were given on-call
bodyguards. 34 women's personal information and identities have been changed. 14 of these women's children were also
given new identities. The appearances of 4 of the women have been changed through plastic surgery due to being under
high risk. In 2013, 583 woman applied to judicial authorities due to facing violence and being under danger vital. According
to data from 2013, almost 6 thousand women were given protection via panic button, bodyguards or electronic handcuffs for
the husbands. In January 2014 alone, 23 women were killed, 6 women were raped, 45 women were injured.
Beside these, in the first weak of March, a father in Kayseri killed his wife and 3 children with a hatchet, threw his fourth child
down from the 11th floor of the building and jumped into his death too. Only a few days after this incident, killed his young
wife with a shotgun in Fethiye, and afterwards crushed to death his own 7-month-old baby under his feet. Again only a few
days later, a young woman who applied for divorce of her husband, was shot to death by her own teenage son together with
her bodyguard. In fact, there is no end to this kind of events, and also numbers are not very important. Because our Prophet
(sav) said that the killing of 1 single innocent person is like killing all humanity.
Till today, the economic conditions, education, patriarchal traditions, problems in adaptation to city life, and conservatism,
meaning Islam, were shown as the causes of violence against women. There is being pushed forward a strong bond
between violence, and education and employment.
However, let us say that we believe that all these are the cause of the problem in Turkey or in other Islamic countries. Yet
what about the problems in Western countries? What about the exposure of one of the three women, 63 million women in
Europe to violence and rape? Moreover, all researches show that mostly women with high education and of upper echelon
had been exposed to violence.
In the U.S. every 9 seconds one woman becomes victim of domestic violence. In 2013, there have been recorded 5400
sexual harassments in the U.S. Army. According to statements of the White House, one in 5 American women is sexually
assaulted or raped during their time at college and university.
And in India, every 22 minutes a woman is raped, every year thousands of women and children become victims of brutal
murder. It is a well-known fact across the world, that the brutal rape and murder of a 23-year-old student last year, is not an
exception.
All these examples show, that in reality violence against women is highest in the universities and the army where the best of
capitalisms education is provided! As long this capitalist secular democratic lifestyle continues to be implemented over us,
the fate of Western women who do not share a different fate than the women of the dark middle ages, will continue to rattle
down upon the women of Turkey and in all Muslim lands unabadetely.
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters! Appealing to this state, its presidency, its Grand National Assambly who wholeheartedly
continue to defend this capitalist secular system, and demanding from them in the manner they expect from you, indenting
from them to apply the laws which they imitate or expecting them to produce new laws out of this capitalist system, or
demanding more women's shelters, etc., although you feel sorrow for this desperate situation, will surely not bring the
change you expect or that our women do deserve.

"There will be Amirs, you will recognise some of what they do, and you will deny some. Whoever disliked them he will
cure himself of the sin, and whoever denied he will be safe, but the one who agreed and followed (will not)." (Muslim,
Iman, 3445)

Certainly we are not more merciful than Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ the Ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ !ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ Have a look at the
incapable solutions you do find and the system that forces you to such a way of thinking... And have a look at the glory and
the supremacy of the solution that Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ who is Al-Jalil, Al-Wakil and Al-Weliy has provided! Until 1924, before it
was removed from us; this solution removed the atrocities of the Arab Jahiliyya as well as the atrocities of the mediaval
Europe from the women, wherever it arrived, and provided them a life at which all the women of the world looked with envy for
exactly 1345 years. So much that it made Lady Elisabeth Craven to say: "... and I repeat it, Sir, I think no women have so
much liberty, safe from apprehension, as the Turkish – and I think them, in their manner of living, capable of being the
happiest creatures breathing." It is not difficult for you to find numerous examples like this one.
You as Muslims who have imaan in Allah وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ and His Messenger وﺳﻠم ﻋﻠﯾﮫ ﷲ ,ﺻﻠﻰ whom He وﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ ﺳﺑﺣﺎﻧﮫ sent as a guide
for mankind; and as you who do not doubt on the promise of Muhammed وﺳﻠم ﻋﻠﯾﮫ ﷲ ;ﺻﻠﻰ has the time not come for you to
hasten to the Glad Tiding that is surely to become reality very soon? Our Prophet وﺳﻠم ﻋﻠﯾﮫ ﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ has promised that:«ًﺔَﻓ َﻼ ِﺧ ُنوُﻛَﺗ ﱠمُﺛ
ِةﱠُوﺑﱡﻧاﻟ ِﺎجَﮭْﻧِﻣ ﻰَﻠَﻋ» "...Then there will be Khilafah Rashida according to the method of the Prophethood." (Ahmad b. Hanbal,
Musnad Kufiyyîn, 17680)
Indeed, Rasulallah وﺳﻠم ﻋﻠﯾﮫ ﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ said:
ٍبﺎَﻘِﻌِﺑ ُﮫْﻧِﻣ ُﱠا ُمُﮭﱠﻣُﻌَﯾ ْنَأ ُكِﺷوُﯾ ﱠﻻِإ واُرِّﯾَﻐُﯾ َﻻ ﱠمُﺛ واُرِّﯾَﻐُﯾ ْنَأ ﻰَﻠَﻋ َونُرِدْﻘَﯾ ﱠمُﺛ ﻲ ِﺎﺻَﻌَﻣْﺎﻟِﺑ ْمِﮭﯾِﻓ ُلَﻣْﻌُﯾ ٍم ْوَﻗ ْنِﻣ ﺎَﻣ
"If acts of disobedience are done among any people and they do not change them, Allah will soon punish them all." (Abu
Dawud, Melahim, 17 (3775), Tirmidhi, Tafsir, Fiten, 8; Ibn Majah, Fit, 20)
Therefore, instead of setting your powers and hope into a system that pulls you into one misery after another for 90 years
now, supporting your sisters and brothers who invite you to the right path, is surely the only way that will save you and the
whole Ummah from all sadness, grief and oppression and will bring you both in this world and in the Hereafter the endless
blessings of Allah (st).
ْمِﮭِﺳُﻔْﻧَﺄِﺑ ﺎَﻣ ْاوُرِّﯾَﻐُﯾ ﻰﱠﺗَﺣ ٍم ْوَﻘِﺑ ﺎَﻣ ُرِّﯾَﻐُﯾ َﻻ َّا ﱠنِإ
"Verily Allah does not change the cirmumstances of any people, until they have changed what is within themselves."
(Ra'd: 11)
