Turkey: where women against femicide stand trial as women continue to be killed
Ceren Karlıdağ
"The patriarchy is a judge
That judges us for being born.
And as women we are punished
By the violence you don’t see."
Do you remember these lyrics? They are from the song titled "A Rapist in Your Path”, brought to life last fall by Chilean feminist collective Las Tesis. The song has been replicated 367 times on every continent, except for Antarctica, in 52 countries, including Turkey, as a stirring resistance act that is part of a new global movement to address transnational violations of women’s rights, sexual assault and femicide.
