Bet y’all didn’t kno this round of #challengeaccepted was started because @pinar._.gultekin was murdered by her ex bf for rejecting his advances. She was reported missing 7.16 and found 7.21 beaten, strangled and burned inside a barrel that was covered in cement. The ex confessed to all this only after being caught on camera buying cans of gas and is currently in custody. activists in turkey started posting b/w photos of themselves to mirror the b/w photos of Pinar and other murdered women seen in newspapers every day as a call to action to raise awareness about Femicide and the injustices behind it in their country (and around the world- let us not forget women in Central America, Malaysia, etc etc literally around the world women are murdered for being women). #womensupportingwomen was the tag with #challengeaccepted as the caption which snowballed into a worldwide selfie party featuring celebs and everyone and their mother posting about how being a woman means empowerment, support ur friends etc etc, essentially pushing the original posters/tagged photos involving #pinargultekin out of sight. I’m all for women supporting women and posting selfies and feeling cute and empowered but ppl need to stop falling for this #socialmedia #propaganda that twists necessary awareness campaigns into weirdo virtue signaling ego boosts. If you shared, posted, or were tagged in this challenge and don’t have Pinars name anywhere in your post take a min and think about why. Read up on femicide. Realize how you are contributing to silencing a murdered woman’s story. I’m glad y’all are feeling yourselves/your friends during this tough time in the world but rly this shit was supposed to be about Pinar who just wanted to graduate from college and live her life without being bothered by her ex. This also hits close to home bc my friend steph was murdered by her ex in April 2019. He shot her point blank in a wawa with an assault rifle. Say her name too #stephaniefalonmiller. Say all the names of women who have been murdered simply for being woman. #femicide is a pandemic as bad as #covid19. Maybe some day we can get over both... #sayhername https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVifnrjHiK/?igshid=dpxl1yhcn8z9

I was challenged by @indiew2306 to do the #challengeaccepted, but I feel like it’s really important to know the source of it. The first photo is of Pinar Gultekin, a Turkish woman who was murdered by her boyfriend. The challenge started because women in Turkey wake up every morning to another woman in black in white in their newspapers who was murdered due to violence against women. Though I can’t find a link to donate to Pinar’s family, the least I can do is to bring awareness to violence and harassment against women. In my own country, I couldn’t even pump gas in peace this morning without an older man insisting on talking to me, despite me giving him multiple signs that I was in a hurry. As I walked away, he called me “honey.” Of course this in no way holds a candle to what happened to Pinar, it’s a small example of the way men feel they can hold power and control over women, through social niceties forcing me to stop what I’m doing to acknowledge him. If I had simply ignored him, instead of giving him a forced smile and laugh, would I have ended up like Pinar, or would a simple “bitch” been thrown in my direction? Who knows. I pray for Pinar’s family and friends and that Turkey improves their accountability of their men, as well as men all over the world. #pinargultekin #pınargültekin #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR1_djnqpObgDZns7JTqGOxWZ3cfh-81TjVp40/?igshid=w2vnaenr8sph

#challengeaccepted (thanks @melinda.risk.jewelry )! #womensupportingwomen is about #femicide, about #genderviolence, not just gauzy black and white selfies and generalities. It was started by women in Turkey after the brutal murder of Pinar Gultekin #pinargultekin, who was strangled, burned and placed in a barrel with concrete poured over her by an ex-boyfriend. The black and white photos highlight that it could be any of us women, posted by police as missing or killed. The governments of Turkey and Poland have announced they plan to withdraw from what is known as the Istanbul Convention, “The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence which is based on the understanding that violence against women is a form of gender-based violence that is committed against women because they are women. It is the obligation of the state to fully address it in all its forms and to take measures to prevent violence against women, protect its victims and prosecute the perpetrators. “ Gender violence has worsened during the pandemic. The Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO) for the Istanbul Convention held its 21st meeting, from 25 to 28. There is so much work to be done! #istanbulconventionsaveslives #istanbulconvention #niunamenos #fuckmisogyny #anamendieta #endgenderbasedviolence #pınargültekin #sayhername #rebeccahblum #endmisogyny #artnewssucks #hannahlongjewelry #womensrights #womenempoweringwomen #feminist #feminism #equalrights #kindness #compassion #onelove (at Boynton Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPdiA3Basu/?igshid=bxr3z5xnose4

Oğullarınıza sevmeyi öğretin, vazgeçebilmeyi, bir kadını incitmemeyi, gülüşünü eksiltmemeyi , kendinden sakınmayı, kıymetli bir kuş tüyünü elinde tutar gibi tutmayı ve en önemlisi de uçmak isterse avuçlarını açıp nazikçe serbest bırakmayı öğretin. #pinargultekin (Çatalca Muratbey Gümrük Müdürlüğü) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8gebwJURU/?igshid=1njfn5l7oknzv

“Tarih boyunca erkeğin kadını koruduğu söylendi.

Sahi, erkek kadını kime karşı koruyordu?”

Erkek annesiyim ben 💙 Oğluma erkek olmaktan önce birey olmayı öğretiyor, ona toplum insanı olmayı anlatıyorum 👪 Değerler ailede öğretilir. Cinsiyetten önce insan olduğu anlatılır. Burdan erkek çocuklarını yetiştiren kadınlara rica ediyorum. Ona evde olağan üstü bir varlık gibi davranmayın. Ailenin bir parçası ve tüm görevlerde sorumluluk alması gerektiğini öğretin önce... Kendinizden başlayarak kadın olmayı, kadına nasıl davranması gerektiğini anlatın lütfen👫 Hiç bir kadının onun vazgeçilmezi olmaması gerektiğini, onun gibi kadının da seçme özgürlüğü olduğunu, bedeninin kadına ait ve istemediği kimseye dokundurtmaması gerektiğini anlatın 👈 Sevmeyi, değer vermeyi, incitmeden, kırmadan, dökmeden ayrılmayı anlatın , anlatın ki sizin gibi evlat yetiştiren kız annelerinin canı yanmasın. Unutmayın yaktığınız canlar sizin peşinizi bırakmaz. #erkekannesiolmak #kadincinayetlerineson #pinargultekin #ozgecanaslan daha niceleri... https://www.instagram.com/p/CC7tJUQpHwLm2d7TnwVcs9DOfCfBzMD0GEr-vw0/?igshid=baozpfi8dmpl
