Femicide in Turkey

Femicide: The killing of women and girls because of their gender.

On October 4, saturday a 19 year old boy called Semih Çelik brutally murdered two 19 year old girls, Ayşenur Halil and İkbal Uzuner with a gap of 30 minutes. Semih Çelik had been assaulting İkbal Uzuner since she was in high school. Because of this she was homeschooled. They had reported him to the police several times. The police did nothing as always. He got away with this during the day, in a crowded street. He had filmed a video a few days before the murder, saying he was planning to murder her and then kill himself but that God protected her and he changed his mind last minute. This would be prevented if the police cared enough to not let him be out on the streets. However many people like this live among us every day.

This is how normalized it is. This is how much he knows no one will protect her. This is the danger we face every single day. 3 more women were murdered after the incident as I'm writing this.

Here's a link to The Monument Counter. It has an explanation in English. Here you can see the names and numbers of every murdered woman in Turkey recorded. You can click on the years to highlight their names and see the number of how many were murdered.

It is vital for Turkish women to be heard internationally, quite literally, and hopefully this will better the lives of women abroad as well.

I will talk about the details of the murder below. However it is very brutal and graphic. I am warning you. Her mother said "I wish he shot her instead, it must've hurt so much.'

He tore her body into pieces, dragged her dead body and THREW HER SEVERED HEAD IN FRONT OF HER MOTHER down the gates. And then he hung himself off the building.
