PRINCIPLES
• Creating a women’s language liberated from the dominant rhetoric and striving to make it as uniform as possible.
• Challenging the dominant patriarchal view of medicine, making women in medical practice and women-specific health problems visible.
• Fighting against the exclusion of women from health and safety policies, contributing to the struggle of making women’s labor visible.
• Keeping violence against women on the agenda as a public health problem, a tool of controlling women’s body/sexuality/labor and as the most important weapon of patriarchal capitalism.
