        I want to mention domestic violence against women issue because of three reasons. The first reason is that getting killed women began to seem as a usual situation. It is possible to come across with news about violence against women every single day. For instance, while reading news, I encounter that love sometimes becomes the reason of a woman’s death. Moreover, the perception of “ If I can’t have you, no one can”  becomes again the reason of killing a woman. As a society we get used to hearing such news, yet I think we should not. As long as I stay quiet and people stay quiet, we cannot change the world and we cannot change the wrong perception of the world which is “Men can do everything, yet women not.” It is enough to live in man’s world. The second reason is why I have consensus on with the author of the article is the pressure of family members to the lives of women. I can conveniently say that in most families in Turkey the behavior towards girls is different compared to boys in the first place. I remembered Emma Watson’s effective speech at the HeForShe Campaign in 2014 while reading this article. During her speech she says, “I am lucky because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter.”  However, there are not many lucky girls like her in the world unfortunately. On the contrary, there are parents and brothers who can easily kill their own daughter or sister in the name of “honour”. These “honorable” men can also force them to take their own lives for the purpose that they do not want to be sent to prison. The last reason is that raising awareness for violence against women is not enough. In fact, it is a way to be voices of these women by giving concerts, mentioning the problem in articles or writings. However, all these efforts are not enough. Unless we as a mother and father change the way we bring up our sons and stop behaving our sons as the sultans in the houses, nothing will be enough. In conclusion, violence against women is not a woman problem; on the contrary, it is a social problem consisting of the violation of a human right; hence, it should not stay as a never-ending issue at the present time.
