The International Young Democrat Union is deeply concerned with the recent developments in Turkey. President Erdogan decided to annul Turkey’s ratification of the Istanbul Convention accord which was designed to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence.
The IYDU campaigns for equal human rights for everyone, especially at a time where violence against women and minorities reaches unprecedented heights.
IYDU expresses its concerns about Turkey’s continuous steps backwards in securing human rights protection and calls on Turkish authorities to adhere to international treaties.
