About Mor Çatı
Mor Çatı Women's Shelter Foundation was founded in 1990 by feminists to combat violence against women. At Mor Çatı, the fight against male violence is carried out based on feminist methods and the aim is to enable women to establish a life in free and equal conditions, free from gender-based discrimination and male violence. It is believed that male violence is caused by inequalities between men and women in society and that it is necessary to fight against inequalities by strengthening women's solidarity. For this purpose, women's empowering social work is carried out in the solidarity centre and shelter. In addition to establishing one-to-one solidarity with women, the implementation of national and international conventions, laws and regulations to combat violence and ensure gender equality are monitored, reported and recommendations on necessary policies are presented to decision-makers. Workshops are held with women's organisations, NGOs, bar associations and municipalities working in the field of violence to share knowledge and experience in the field. In solidarity with national and international women's organisations, campaigns and actions are carried out to fight against patriarchy and for women to build free and independent lives.
