The government has been gutting women's protection laws.
In 2021, Turkey became the first and only country to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention, a human rights treaty of the Council of Europe opposing violence against women.

One of the reasons was the convention not specifically referring to 'husband and wife' but 'partner' therefore also protecting queer people + people who are unmarried experiencing domestic abuse. Anti-LGBT groups used this to push against article 4/3.
