The Istanbul Convention, which allegedly aims to prevent violence against women and domestic violence, was signed by Turkey in 2011. Although the Convention was opened to the signature of the member states of the Council of Europe and all the countries of the world, it was not accepted by many countries such as the USA, England, Russia, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Canada, China and Japan. Due to the gender ideology it contains, the convention has caused intense debates in the world, especially in European countries. These discussions took place intensely in Turkey as well, and as a result, it was terminated by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on 19.03.2021 by using his authority to terminate international agreements.
After the termination of the Istanbul Convention, a new public policy that will set an example to the world to prevent violence against women has been created and the determination of legal rules that will reveal violence and its solution in a healthy way has started to be discussed. In this context, the Istanbul Convention has been analyzed from various dimensions in the study. By making use of the analysis of the Istanbul Convention and the discussions on the subject, basic principles and recommendations that can be used in the public policy aimed at solving violence against women and the problems experienced by women have been created.
