By Simon Bahceli Cyprus Mail:

A SHOCKING three out of four women living in the north say they have been subjected to physical violence at least once in their lives, a survey revealed yesterday.

“These figures show that we have a serious problem,” Dr Mehmet Caciki, the prominent Turkish Cypriot psychologist whose team carried out the survey, told the Cyprus Mail yesterday.

Cakica’s survey, which saw 500 women from across the north answering detailed questions on sexual, physical and psychological abuse, is the first of its kind to be undertaken, and makes shocking reading.

Cakici found, with women in rural and isolated communities most often the target.


how big is cyprus after all (or even the north part of it) , and there are still isolated communities !!

Quote:
The highest rates of sexual and other forms of physical abuse were found in Karpas villages populated largely by immigrants from the Turkish mainland.

“The low level of socio-economic development, limited access to education and employment seem to play a major role,” Cakici found.


limited access to education ? !! that needs some clarification...
limited access to employment.... is there a chance that there are more settlers than the north can sustain ?
btw is there an official unemployment rate ?

Has there been a study yet?
