Professor Kalfoğlu has spent the last years of her career specializing in sexual abuse

and its consequences. She is the author of numerous articles on the subject, published in English and Turkish Scientific Journals. Being aware of the difficulties that sexual assault victims and survivors are facing, she founded a centre for sexual assault victims in Turkey, which now operates in Istanbul, under Yeni Yüzyil University where she is the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences.

meetings on this topic in Turkey. He is currently the director of the Sexual Assault Crisis Center at Yeni Yüzyil University and the Director of the Department of Nursing at the same University.
