“…Kadına yönelik şiddet; kadın cinayetleri, kadın intiharları, fiziksel şiddet, erken ve kendilerine uymayan kişilerle zorla evlendirilme, çok çocuk doğurmaya zorlanma, çok eşli evlilik, taciz-tecavüz, eve hapsetme, okula ve işe gönderilmeme şeklinde ortaya çıkabilmektedir (Sallan Gül, 2014: 181;Sakallı-Uğurlu ve Akbaş, 2013: 84;TBMM Komisyon Raporu, 2006). Kadınlar bu tür şiddetlerle, ataerkil kültürün hâkim olduğu toplumsal yapılarda daha çok karşılaşmaktadırlar (Dietrich ve Schuett, 2013;Grzyb, 2016). Ataerkil yapı tarım toplumuna geçişle başlayan yapıya işaret etmektedir.…”

“…Violence that is committed in the name of honour is frequently seen in societies, formed around moral or/and patriarchal norms. (Dietrich & Schuett, 2013;Grzyb, 2016).In such cultural structures honour conveys different meanings for men and women While the term 'virtue' stands for honesty, professional reliability and preserving family name in men's world, for women it stands for 'sexual morality' that is 'virginity' and is affiliated with true commitment to men. (Aksoy and Turkish Studies -Social Sciences Volume 14 Issue 6, 2019Yılmaz-Vefikuluçay, 2019Bourdieu, 2016).…”

Turkish Studies -Social SciencesVolume 14 Issue 6, 2019annesi okur-yazar olmayan öğrenciler namus adına kadına uygulanan şiddete daha olumlu bakmaktadır. Gelir düzeyi, gelinen bölge ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre gruplar arasında farklılık yoktur. ABSTRACTViolence against women is one of the most important social problems in Turkey and in the rest of the world. One of the factors resulting in violence against women is supposedly the "honor" phenomenon, a product of patriarchal culture. In societies where honor culture is dominant, women are subjected to verbal, psychological, sexual and physical violence in the name of honor, and they even become victims of honor killings. Based on the assumption that attitudes towards violence against women in the name of honor are affected by sociodemographic variables, this study analyzes whether the attitudes of university students, who shall become the determinants and guiding agents of social structure in the future, differ in terms of socio-demographic factors such as gender, the area of study, class level, family income level, region of origin, and parental educational level.The study was carried out with 662 individuals who were determined by stratified and convenient sampling techniques in various departments of Sivas Cumhuriyet University. In addition to a personal information form, the Scale of Attitude towards Violence against Women in the Name of Honor (NKUŞTÖ), developed by Işık and Sakallı-Uğurlu (2009), was used in the study. The analysis of the collected data was conducted through independent samples t test for two groups and one way analysis of variance for three and more groups. According to the findings, in general, university students do not approve of violence against women in the name of honor; however, male students,students studying at health and science departments, the 1st and 2nd grade students, and students whose mother is illiterate exhibite more positive views on violence against women. Dissimilarly, no differences according to their level of income, region of origin and the education level of father has been found among the groups. STRUCTURED ABSTRACT

Background. The vulnerability of migrant women, especially those coming from patriarchal societies, leads to the increase of gender violence. This is incremented by a myriad of socioecological determinants related to the immigration process and to the nature of male-female relationships. Objectives. The main objective is to conduct a preliminary analysis of recent publications dealing with the relations between gender violence and migrant populations in the European Union, including internally displaced people. Materials and methods. This paper is based on a revision of scientific publications from SCOPUS that relate to migrant women who are victims of gender violence in the European Union. The qualitative thematic analysis was used in order to identify the main issues targeted in the articles. Results. The thematic analysis of the studies reviewed dealing with migration and gender violence highlighted several important themes, including prevalence of violence against migrant women; the forms and contexts of gender violence; the impact of legal, economic environments and sociocultural barriers; the influence of conflict and war; the impact and consequences of violence, especially on women's mental health, as well as strategies and suggestions for interventions. Conclusions. Increasing the awareness of migration, regarding the conflicts and problems experienced by migrants (of both genders), could enable health and legal authorities to offer more significant culture and gender sensitive services, thus reducing gender violence.

“…On that continuum, «honor» killings constitute the most extreme of a wide range of violent and abusive acts. Utilizing a theoretical framework from Bourdieu, Gryzb shows that masculine domination is a fine example of symbolic violence (Grzyb 2016).…”

While the study of femicide has progressed recently, research into the femicide of girls is still new. The femicide of girls is the murder of girls because they are girls, and because they would have grown up to be women. This article examines different forms of girl femicide in India, a country traditionally associated with sati and infanticide. Several types of femicide in India have been identified, ranging from foeticide to intimate partner femicide, and including dowry marriage femicides, «honor»-related killings and other forms of femicide. These killings are perpetrated against a weakened minority-womenand an even more weakened minority-girls. Often they are aimed at the weakest elements in society: girls hailing from Dalit, other oppressed communities.
