    Women are not just shadows of men: Unfortunately women are suffering maybe the most difficult times in todays so-called modern Turkey. Because they are:

    - beaten up by their husbands
    - being murdered
    - being submitted to honour killings
    - being raped
    - deprived from education rights
    - sexually harassed
    - discriminated

    and they are condemned to stay under the shadow of men just because they are Women.
