Turkey turns to听its religious preachers to help听men understand how to treat women

According to a recent Amnesty International report, honour killings remain a major problem along with domestic violence. But many women's groups say that new laws don't go far enough.听 Now the government is getting its message across to men through the mosques.
Dorian Jones reports from Istanbul on听how the听sermons promoting equality and women's rights are being issued by the Diyanet, the听government's religious affairs directorate.
