The stats cry out for study and action. One statistic from the VOA article I found interesting: Germany and Turkey have roughly the same population but Germany has 386 shelters for domestic violence victims to Turkey's 70 shelters. Having a place to escape to, particularly if a woman is at the lower end of the economic scale, is critical.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855990208488482147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060065456836212415.post-39655333134130566102012-04-16T19:53:30.727+02:002012-04-16T19:53:30.727+02:00This film sounds great - but then I've never w...This film sounds great - but then I've never watched a Turkish film and not been moved by it.

My favorite one with this theme is Fatmagül'ün Sucu Ne? (What is Fatmagul's Crime?).
