Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) Issue Posters Against "Honor Killings"

Turkish Armed Forces distributed posters to raise awareness against violence directed against women. Some of the posters read: “Honor killing is a crime – Respect Life”; “Violence against women is Crime”; “Sexual Harassment and Assault are Crimes” and “Girls have a right to education – Send girls to school”. These posters are displayed on the walls of all meeting places such as clubs, reading and resting rooms where soldiers spend time.
