Humanities Ph.D. student, Aybüke Bilgin Arlı, will defend her dissertation titled "The Impacts of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) on Turkish Women's Personal Security".  

The defense will be online and will explore "the inhibiting impacts of IPV on Turkish women' s freedom from fear and want and, thus, on their personal security with the aim of addressing the missing dimensions of human security to highlight the undeniable need to improve and reshape the concept so as to be included in one of the major understandings/discourses focusing on equality between women and men as well as working towards eliminating VAW. The human security approach and ecological framework are the overarching analytical lenses to assess how IPV affects Turkish women' s right to freedom from fear and want, and creates an insecure environment for them."
