Domestic violence in Turkey: An example of ağri province

Bu çalışma Ağrı ilinde aile içi şiddete maruz kalmış kadınların profilini incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda, kadınların yaşları, kaç yıllık evli oldukları, resmi nikahlarının bulunup bulunmadığı gibi değişkenler aracılığıyla şiddete maruz kalan kadınların öne çıkan özellikleri saptanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Şiddet mağdurlarının emniyete yaptıkları şikayet başvurusunda anlattıklarına, şiddete uğradıktan sonra ne yaptıklarına ve devletten koruma isteyip istemediklerine bakılarak kadınlara karşı şiddet olgusu betimsel olarak analiz edilmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, 2011-2012 yılları arasında aile içi şiddete uğramış ve emniyete şikayet başvurusunda bu- lunmuş 62 kadının dosyaları incelenmiştir. Şiddet gören kadınların profili betimsel yöntemle analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, 20-30 yaş arası kadınların daha çok şiddetle karşılaştıkları, aile içi şiddetten dolayı polise başvuran kadınların çoğunun daha sonra boşandıkları ve son olarak, çoğu kadının doğuştan sahip oldukları haklarının neler olduğunu ve şiddete maruz kaldıklarında ne yapmaları gerektiğini bilmedikleri görülmüştür.
