Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued the decree on March 20, 2021 that pulled the country out of the international treaty
At least 996 women in Turkey have been killed by men since the country’s 2021 withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, an international treaty aimed at combating domestic violence, while 748 women have died under suspicious circumstances, Turkish Minute reported, citing a report by the We Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP).
338 women in Turkey fell victim to femicide in a year: reportMarch 8, 2024
March 20 marks the third anniversary of the issuance of a presidential decree ordering Turkey’s withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, which led to outrage among women’s rights groups in the country and drew international condemnation.
Statistics from the platform showed that 280 women were killed by men in Turkey in 2021. The figure was 334 in 2022, 315 in 2023, 31 in January and 36 in February 2024. Most of the women were killed either by their ex-husbands or partners whom they wanted to break up with and mostly by the use of firearms.

The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence is an international accord designed to protect women’s rights and prevent domestic violence in societies and was opened to the signature of member countries of the council in 2011.
According to the KCDP, 748 other women have died under suspicious circumstances since 2021.
Women at all educational levels earn less than men: TurkStat March 7, 2024
Despite opposition from the international community and women’s rights groups, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued the decree on March 20, 2021 that pulled the country out of the international treaty, which requires governments to adopt legislation prosecuting perpetrators of domestic violence and similar abuse as well as marital rape and female genital mutilation.
Erdoğan claimed the treaty had been “hijacked by a group of people attempting to normalize homosexuality,” which he said was “incompatible” with Turkey’s “social and family values.”
Turkey officially withdrew from the convention on July 1, 2021.
SCF releases report on human rights violations in Turkey in 2023 March 5, 2024
Femicides and violence against women are serious problems in Turkey, where women are killed, raped or beaten every day. Critics say the main reason behind the situation is the policies of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government, which protects violent and abusive men by affording them impunity.
Turkey was ranked 129th out of 146 countries with respect to inequalities between men and women in the Global Gender Gap Report 2023.

Greenpeace warns 75% of Spain to become desert without urgent action against climate change.
Almeria’s ‘Sea of Plastic’ is one area showing the effects of desertification. In winter much of Europe gets fresh vegetables (albeit contaminated with agro-toxics) from Almeria’s plastic plain, supplied by dwindling and salinated groundwater as the great Sahara desert marches northwards.
The worrying figure, which comes from research carried out by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, reflects the ‘critical’ water situation in Spain.
Desertification is the process by which vegetation in drylands decreases and eventually disappears, creating a desert landscape.
One example of this process is Almeria and its ‘Sea of Plastic’, which produces thousands of tons of vegetables each year – using groundwater to supply these vast crop-producing areas exacerbates diminishing water reserves and degrades soil quality.
According to Greenpeace, which released the information to mark World Water Day, celebrated on March 22 every year, Spain and Greece are the European countries with the greatest stress placed on water supply.
Over 12 million Spaniards are currently under some form of water restriction, with droughts raging in Andalucia and Catalunya as reservoir levels continue to dwindle.
Scientific projections predict that Spain could suffer droughts ten times as worse as those currently occurring if action isn’t undertaken to combat the effects of climate change.
Prolonged periods of drought and heat will reduce the availability of freshwater, threatening agricultural yields.
This could lead to water shortages and higher food prices.
After a 3 year drought Barcelona received over 80 mm of rain so far in March 2024. It is hoped that a weather cycle within Climate change has altered, perhaps connected to the ending of the El Niño world phenomenon, and we are planting potatoes!
Greenpeace is urging authorities in Spain to “convert the country’s current intensive and super-intensive agricultural production to sustainable, diversified and low water consumption farms and increase organic farming to 30% of the surface area by 2030 and 100% by 2050”.
“To achieve food sovereignty, promote the use of traditional seeds and increase the biodiversity of farms. Develop an adaptation and recovery plan for the most climate-vulnerable agricultural areas in coordination with the autonomous communities, based on agroecology, soil recovery, regeneration of ecosystems, and protection and restoration of rivers and wetlands”, added the activist group.
Greenpeace’s Spanish branch has also highlighted nine separate environmental challenges which Spain will be forced to confront in the coming years as the climate continues to warm.
These are: “Pollution by fossil fuels, drought, fire, loss of biodiversity, pollution from industrial agriculture, pollution from industrial livestock farming, mass tourism, plastics and environmental impunity”.

Drought forces water use rethink in Spain August 10, 2022 Faced with a historic drought and threatened by desertification, Spain is rethinking how it spends its water resources, which are used mainly to irrigate crops. “We must be extremely careful and responsible instead of looking the other way,” Spain’s Minister for the Ecological Transition Teresa Ribera said recently,…September 1, 2022
A menudo los leninistas afirman que los anarquistas simplemente ignoran los “factores objetivos” a los que se enfrentaron los bolcheviques cuando discutimos la degeneración de la Revolución Rusa. Según este argumento, los anarquistas presentan un análisis básicamente idealista del fracaso del bolchevismo, un análisis que no se basa en las condiciones materiales (guerra civil, caos […]
