ISTANBUL — On August 10, I met Gizem through a women’s rights group. Afraid to give her real name, she told me she had lived in fear of her abusive estranged husband for a year and a half, hoping that once their divorce was finalized he would stop threatening her and her family.

According to a press release, experts appointed by the Human Rights Council urged authorities to protect the 1,500-year-old cathedral’s “outstanding universal value” that led to it being listed as a World Heritage Site. Avoiding division “In this difficult global context, it would be a historic mistake to take actions that divide rather than unite religious and cultural groups in Turkey and abroad,” said Karima Bennoun, the special rapporteur on cultural rights, and Ahmed Shahid, the special rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief. “As someone said, ‘The dome of Hagia Sophia must be big enough to accommodate everyone.'” Hagia Sophia…

When, on March 13, I asked my team at a small environmental solutions company to work from home for the next week, I got the sense that they thought I was probably overreacting. After…

But what appears to be an investment strategy that fosters corruption has ironically helped Turkey provide effective care to COVID-19 patients. We should also look at city-level inequalities in the health care system. National numbers can be misleading because the pandemic has not affected the…
