I used to think Turkey was cool too, until I found out about how women are treated there.
1/5 can’t read, 1/4 were forced to quit working by men, their participation in the workforce is half the EU average and declining (unlike all other major islamic countries like Saudi Arabia), 39% of women in Turkey had suffered physical violence at some time in their lives, 42% of the surveyed women said they had been physically or sexually abused by their husband or partner.
