Considering the way some parents and husbands treat the young women I'm not surprised by this.

The way they are treated is bad, but joining the PKK is not the answer Just my opinion but i hate everything the PKK stands for! xx

I agree with you swabs but I think they see it as the lesser of two evils. Imagine if your parents were going to marry you off to some old geezer or someone you couldn't stand, what would you do?

Yes i agree with you, for them it is alot better option, the government should start taking note of this and making changes in the society (i know easier said then done, especially Turkey) but at the end of the day, if they dont do something then the PKK will grow stronger and more people will get hurt in the long run xx

I don't know what the answer is to the PPK problem, I wish I did, But it is up to both sides to come together and talk. It's no good one side offering something if the other side doesn't want to listen. Compromises will have to made on both sides but are either side willing to do that?. It's really a whole topic on it's own and for the moment there seems to be no solutions.

Reading the article above explains why I have been reading for the last few months why so many girls are now in the PPK. Sadly what I have been reading wasn't good as it was due to fact that many of them are now being killed. Such a waste of a life.
