#challengeaccepted #womensupportingwomen I stand in solidarity with these women. Thank you to all the incredible women that shared this movement with me. I pray for a major shift of the current situation in the world. Sharing my besties words below @iamhannahpederson : If you didn’t know, one of the reasons the black and white photo challenge started was for women to raise their voice, to stand in solidarity with the women we have lost to femicides. (Some of the earliest photos found to start this challenge were by women in Turkey, standing in solidarity with the women then have lost to femicides to raise awareness, as well as a Brazilian journalist who wanted to make a post about “women supporting women” and support this general movement as well.) Turkey is one of the top countries for Femicides. In 2019 there was over 500 recorded femicides. Sadly many remain unrecorded, leaving us with no legit number of women being murdered every year. Certain aspects of the Istanbul Convection; a human rights treaty that protects women against domestic violence is in the prospects of being abolished by the government. So not only are they already not trying to stop femicides they’re literally trying to make it legal for them to not stop it. Turkish people wake up every single day to see a black and white photo of a women who has been Murdered on their Instagram feed, newspapers and tv screens. I stand in solidarity with these women. If you’d like to donate to a women’s shelter in Turkey... @morcati_vakfi @tapvakfi @ucansupurgee ...read more
