Turkish human rights group Å~^EFKAT-DER launched a project in the
city of Konya aimed at teaching women how to defend themselves from
men’s violence. Under the project, women should be able to defend
themselves with arms.

According to CNNTurk, shooting lessons are being held in Konya
involving women who suffered from violence. 10 women participate in
the lessons. They open fire at a target depicting a man.

We will remind that the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence
campaign started on 25 November, International Day for the Elimination
of Violence against Women and will run through 10 December, Human
Rights Day.

November 25 commemorates the brutal assassination of the three Mirabal
sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, in 1960.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
