Gender-based violence against women is defined as ”violence directed against or disproportionately to a woman because she is a woman.” Accordingly, violence against women is a gender-based human rights violation. Violence against women, constitutes an important social problem that not only harms women physically and psychologically but also prevents women from socially improving themselves. On the other hand, although there are multiple factors that affect the type and degree of violence against women, the primary source of the violence is gender inequality and the patriarchal social structure that positions men as dominant and strong; and women as weak. In this study, it is mainly aimed to analyze the physical dimension of violence against women and the background of the violence against women in Turkey on a gender-based perspective.</description> <pubDate>2024-08-29</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Working Principles of Cyber Insurance and Silent Cyber Security From the legal perspective https://basvuru.legaldergi.com.tr/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=45238 https://basvuru.legaldergi.com.tr/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=45238 Insurance can play a key role in helping all companies in all sectors including the Financial Sector build their cyber resilience. The benefits are not just the valuable financial protection when an insured cyber event occurs, but also access to expert consultants and on-the-ground support, from IT specialists through to ransom, extortion and public relations experts, that might otherwise be beyond reach. However, Cyber risks and insurance is a complicated and fast developing area of both the law and insurance. This relatively new coverage is complicated and there are significant differences in the protection offered by various insurers. With this study, in order to contribute to the creation of basic knowledge and understanding of this new insurance for both insurers and insurers, it has been tried to examine this insurance with its legal aspects and to reveal its working principles and results by considering Turkish Insurance Legislation and Law. In the first part of the study, the risk of hidden cyber coverage, which can be described as “silent cyber” in traditional insurances, and the exception clauses brought to prevent this, are explained. In the second part, the cyber insurance product, which is developed specifically for cyber risks, is handled in a broader manner, and the coverages given against cyber risks, their scope, exceptions and other important provisions are explained and evaluated by considering Turkish Law. 2024-08-29 A Critical Look at the Law No. 805 on the Compulsory Use of the Turkish Language by Economic Enterprises https://basvuru.legaldergi.com.tr/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=45526 https://basvuru.legaldergi.com.tr/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=45526 İsmail Esin The Law No. 805 on the Compulsory Use of Turkish Language in Economic Enterprises, adopted in 1926, regulates the use of Turkish language in commercial relations. According to article 2 of the Law No. 805, foreign companies and enterprises must use the Turkish language in transactions, correspondence and contact with Turkish companies and persons, and whenever they are obliged to disclose documents and company books to Turkish government bodies and officials. According to article 4, any and all records and documents created and executed contrary to this obligation will not be taken into consideration "in favour of the companies and enterprises". In 2017, the Court of Cassation rendered a decision that on the basis of these provisions a defendant could not rely on a contract's arbitration clause if the whole agreement, including the arbitration clause, is drafted in English and the contract is between a Turkish party and a foreign party. This article compares the past and current applications and effects of the Law No. 805, and contemplates on the inconvenience and necessity of this law. 2024-08-29
