"In this booklet, we, WWHR, attempt to offer a comprehensive yet concise overview of the new legal status of women in Turkey. The booklet describes the key gains the new Civil Code has brought to women’s lives. But its contents are not limited to a description of (new) laws defining women’s status in the family. It aims rather to provide information on the laws and regulations shaping all spheres of women’s lives in Turkey." (Quoted from site)
