Sample Text
Sexual violence against women is a form of violence and unfortunately it is quite common. It is a big problem that is sometimes reflected in the courthouse, but mostly for different reasons, it is not revealed or removed, and therefore it is not reflected in the courthouse and is not included in the statistics. It is an issue that has both national and international dimensions. The issue is kept on the agenda with international agreements and obligations are imposed on the party states to prevent it. Although there are regulations on the subject in the Turkish Penal Code, it is not possible to say that they are sufficient to solve the problem., Sexual violence against women is a type of violence and despite the fact that it is a common issue, it doesn't come into the picture much and therefore, it is not referred to court and reflected by the statistics. It is also an international problem as well as a national issue. International conventions keep this issue on the agenda and some obligations are imposed to States to prevent it. Even tough there are provisions on this topic in Turkish Criminal Code, these are not effective for solving the problem.
