ENGLISH BREAKFAST – Das geraubte Glück

Author and journalist Rukiye Cankiran presents her new book entitled „Das geraubte Glück“ (stolen happiness). This non fiction work explores topics such as child and forced marriage in the overall context of violence against women. What is unique about her reseach is different perspectives which come into play which involves a deep look into families dynamics, social and societal expectations. Her field work (over 20 years working in the social field and 10 years in migrant and women’s issues) form a basis into the complexity of these issues. Rukiye’s visit was organized in cooperation with the Migrantinnen Verein (a women’s organization whose aim is to support the empowerment for Turkish speaking women).
