Speaking before the staging of the play and drawing attention to the fact that the devastating effect of violence against women is a global phenomenon, HKU KADMER Director Assist. Prof. Dr. Zeynep Özgüner said: “Violence against women is a common problem of societies. Therefore, every struggle undertaken and every improvement achieved is made for women all over the world. As KADMER, with our mission of opposing every form of violence, to which we do not remain indifferent each year, and with our sensitivity on this issue, we attach importance to the perception of violence being known and recognised.”

The programme, which aims to raise awareness in the fight against violence against women, ended with the audience’s discussion of the subject of the play following the performance.
