Thanks for nominating me and thank you all for joining the movement, personally, on behalf of all survivors of domestic violence and Turkish women, I appreciate it!!! ♥️ On July 16 in Turkey, Pinar Gültekin, student disappeared. And five days later, her ex-boyfriend confessed to her murder. And this sparked a wave of outrage across Turkey as there is legitimate femicide going on in Turkey and the government is doing nothing about it. So women in Turkey hit the streets in protest, despite the global Pandemic, to raise their voice against femicide happening in Turkey. And then that also turned into a social media campaign to raise awareness about the number of women being murdered in the country. And the way that they did that was by posting black and white photos and nominating their friends to also join them in doing this. And the reason those photos were in black and white was symbolic of seeing murdered women in newspapers every day. And the selfies were supposed to basically help other people confront the fact that these are your sisters and your friends and your mothers. And it could just as easily be one of them on the front page tomorrow! So now thanks to the internet and social media, this has become a global movement against violence against women!!! https://www.dw.com/en/femicide-rates-turkey/a-54311038 #pınargültekin #morganmccaffrey #womansupportingwomen #womenempowerment #challenge #riseup #femicideinturkey #femicide #letwomenlivefree #letwomenlive #aganistwomenabuse #aganistfemicide #changetheworld #kadınaşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır #istanbulsözleşmesi #challengeaccepted (at ZEYZANI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRBddEpAq4/?igshid=ip6sva32lu4n
