Protesters clash with police officers preventing them from marching against the government's decision to withdraw from Istanbul Convention, in Istanbul, Thursday, July 1, 2021. Turkey formally withdrew Thursday from a landmark international treaty protecting women from violence, and signed in its own city of Istanbul, though President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted it won’t be a step backwards for women. Hundreds of women demonstrated in Istanbul later Thursday, holding banners that said they won't give up on the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention. (Photo by Kemal Aslan/AP Photo)
