Avrupa Birliğinin barış ve refah içerisinde bir toplum öngörüsü, Türkiye'de bireysel ve sosyal hakların yok sayıldığı, kişilerin etnik kökeni, inançları ve seçimleri yüzünden çatışmaya sürüklendiği bir ortama doğru artan bir şekilde sürüklenmektedir.

According to her statements, the women was married at her early ages, she 1 was beaten by both his father and husband. This young woman was in one of the emergency services of a psychiatric hospital in İstanbul and she was screaming with her all strength: "Why do you torture me? Torture him, my dad!

With this paper, I prefer to name this purpose as common good call on environmental hesitation. By May, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality declared to rebuild " Taksim Military Barracks" replacing with Gezi Park which is the limited greener area used as park located in the very center of Taksim square. Some NGOs and numbers of inhabitants of region rejected declaration and created public opinion against construction site, asserting what Istanbul needs is more green areas not construction sites.Unfortunately, by May 27, heavy machineries of Istanbul Municipality conquered the land and started to clear cut the trees carelessly. The issue had become more public and the trees clear-cut was started to be broadcasted by audio-visual media channels. More people joined to group day by day, shifts were organized to prevent clear-cut of trees by municipal agents, also camping at the land was initiated as a part of shift. Just the day after, very early in the morning, municipal police set fire the shelter tents of people and overbore them through spraying gas. This tyranny happened while people were sleeping very early in the morning when protests were inactive.

Women are excluded from particular spatial arena and restricted to the others. In this sense 'know their place' has a literal as well as metaphorical meaning for women and sexed embodiment is deeply intertwined with geographical location " McDowell, 1999.

Kadına Karşı Ayrımcılığı Önleme Anlaşması'na göre de kadın eşini seçme hakkına sahiptir evlenip evlenmeme kararını yalnızca kendisi verir. Çocuk Haklarına Dair Sözleşme ile özgürlükten yoksun bırakıcı uygulamalardan korunma, çocukların kendileriyle ilgili konularda görüşlerini dile getirme, istismar ve ihmalden korunma, cinsel sömürüden korunma, ekonomik sömürüden korunma çocukların en temel haklarıdır. Türkiye'nin bu sözleşmeleri imzalamasının üzerinden on yıllar geçti. Ama Türkiye, uluslararası bu sözleşmelere uygun kanunlarla yönetilmiyor. Erken yaşta yapılan evlilikler, toplum içerisinde kadın ve erkek eşitliğini zedeliyor. Kanunlarımıza göre; 18 yaş evlenme yaşı 17 yaş aile rızası ile evlenme yaşı 16 yaş hâkim kararıyla evlenme yaşıdır. Ehliyet alma yaşı, Oy kullanma yaşı, Yargıya başvurma yaşı 18 iken evlilik yaşı 16 olabilmektedir. Türk Barolar Birliği ( Kadın Hukuku Komisyonunun) 2013 verilerine göre, Aileler çocuklarının yaşlarını büyük gösterip evlenme izni alabilmek için önceki yıllara oranla yüzde 94 artışlarla mahkemelere başvuruyorlar. Bu sadece işin resmi yanı.

TUĠK 2013 Nisan verilerine göre, kadınların iĢ gücüne katılım oranı %31'dir ve istihdam edilen 7,8 milyon kadının %52,6'sı kayıt dıĢı çalıĢmaktadır.
