The ocean of paradoxes

We, the women of this country, are swimming in an ocean of paradoxes. Incidents are happening which stop our brains from functioning normally. Sometimes our jaws drop. Sometimes we cannot hold back our tears of joy. 

At other times, we have fits of rage; we shiver from head to toe.
 
All of these are happening in this country!

The United Nations has launched the "UNITE to End Violence against Women" campaign. We have illuminated famous historic buildings in Istanbul with orange lights, as other buildings in the world have. 
Perfect, wonderful...

However, there has been nothing heard from parliament. The "Özgecan Act" draft has been waiting there for a long time. It is a bill that aims to stop the needless, lame-core, generous reductions granted to woman murderers? We have not seen the slightest effort for this motion to be processed.

Moreover, Gözde Salur has launched a campaign at change.org and it has more than 1 million signatures; that is also staring at them?

Respectable rapist 

As long as it is left to the opinion of the judge to grant reductions in femicides, we will be swimming in an ocean of paradoxes for a very long time.

As a matter of fact, we already are. In a case in southeastern ?anl?urfa, a pervert who beat a woman with a hose and raped her has been released after an arrest period of four months on grounds the rapist adopted a respectable attitude in court and the woman had consented.

Can you tell me, for heaven's sake, why should a pervert beat up a woman with a hose if she already gave consent? How can this man be released? There is no logic behind the reduction in femicide punishments; it is up to the discretion of the judge. 

Unfortunately, the same...
