440 women have been killed in 2019 alone in turkey and then we see girls on social media advocating for toxic masculinity.
Özgecan Aslan
A 20-year-old university student who was the last person on a minibus in Mersin. She was murdered in her attempt to resist rape. Her body was found with cut off hands as the driver feared his DNA could be found on her nails, which she had scratched his face with.
Emine Bulut
A 38-year-old woman was murdered in a cafe in Kirikkale by her ex husband, who she had divorced 4 years earlier, in front of their 10-year-old daughter. Video footage went viral of her covered in blood screaming ‘I don’t want to die’ as her daughter begs her to live.
Şeyma Yıldız
A 17-year-old high-school student who was murdered by her own father in Ankara after he found out she had a boyfriend. He turned himself in to the police after he had shot her with a gun in his car and left her on the side of a road.
Ceren Özdemir
A 20-year-old woman who was stabbed to death by a man who had escaped prison, in front of her house in Ordu. The convict confessed to the murder and stated ‘I’m not sorry for what I’ve done’ and revealed that he ‘followed many women and planned to kill them’.
Ecrin Bebek
The 1-year-old baby Ecrin was reported missing on 7 May in a village of Samsun. Her dead body was then found in pieces on 25 May near her house. The autopsy report also revealed evidence of child sexual abuse, the largest suspect being her own uncle.
Şule Çet
Her body was found to have been fallen from an office on the 20th storey of a skyscraper. Police initially called it a suicide however the autopsy report of the 23-year-old university student revealed she had been raped. The man accountable denied all charges.
Ayşegül Terzi
A 23-year-old nurse who was kicked and assaulted on a bus in Istanbul for wearing shorts. The man was given a sentence of 3 years, which was decreased to 2 in the following year. The case goes to show who the courts ultimately sympathise with.
the list goes on and on. these are the cases most people choose to turn a blind eye to as it makes them uncomfortable - please face reality. as a female, you should be deconstructing this way of thinking instead of upholding the mindset that devalues and kills your own women.
