Kars Open Door gender‑based violence campaign

Entities: Ziya Polat · KADES application · Law No. 6284 (Family Protection Law) · Kars Governor's Office Open Door Branch · Ministry of Family and Social Services

Overview

In early July, the Kars Governor’s Office’s Open Door unit made a field visit to a local nursing home, meeting residents as part of its community‑outreach activities. By early August, the program had broadened its focus, conducting city‑wide visits to inform citizens about family and gender‑based violence. Officials explained the various forms of abuse, legal protections under Turkey’s Law No. 6284, and reporting procedures. The outreach also showcased the KADES mobile application, distributed “Zero Tolerance for Violence Against Women” brochures, and highlighted the agencies that can assist victims. The governor’s directive frames the effort as a year‑round campaign to raise awareness and make Open Door units a primary contact point for abuse victims.
