The aim of this study is to investigate the supporting dynamics of cancellation of Istanbul Convention in Turkey, with the hypothesis of a mediated moderation of Islamic religiosity, age, education, gender, and ambivalent sexism dynamics With the current study, it is intended to examine whether ambivalent sexism scores would change for different demographics as age, religiosity, and gender, as well to see the Istanbul Convention attitudes from this perspective, which has not been studied since the cancellation of the convention. Results showed that religiosity is significantly related to support for the cancellation since higher religiosity significantly predicts the support for the cancellation of Istanbul Convention. This effect was mediated by hostile sexism for men only, where Higher HS for men predicts the support for the cancellation, but not for women. Lastly, the relationship was moderated by age and gender, showing that older people support the cancellation more than younger people and men support the cancellation more than women. Therefore religiosity, hostile sexism, age, and gender were significant factors on investigating the mechanism of support for the cancellation of Istanbul Convention. In conclusion, people with high religiosity show more support to the cancellation of Istanbul Convention, hostile sexism believes mediate the relationship between religiosity and support for the cancellation, with moderation of gender and age that the effect was significant for men and older people.
