On October we discussed ‘violence in relationships’

After a short summer break we restarted our “Non-violent Action Workshop”s on October. On our seventh meeting, we talked about violence in relationships with Nurgül from Association for Struggle Against Sexual Violence and Hazal and Burcu from Mor Çatı Women’s Shelter Foundation. Both associations have been organizing efficient campaigns in increasing awareness and in fostering methods of defense and solidarity against violence. How do we define violence in diverse relationships such as flirts, partnership, marriage? What can be done when facing violence and how can defense mechanisms be devised? What is flirt violence? How is trust to be established in relationships? We talked about these issues in order to better detect and act against the violence in our relationships.
