“DOORS” The word “door” carries with it stories untold… It has long been a dream of mine to travel across different geographies, capturing photographs of doors and writing about the lives of the women behind them. hafza-girdap.medium.com/doors-6163c8...

(1/8) Who is “woman”? Is she nameless? Or is she the unmentionable “five-letter word”? Whether it’s a domestic matter within a family or a public scandal splashed across the community, discussions about gendered dynamics almost always revolve around the “woman”.

“Civil death” “Social genocide” These terms echo the stories of systemic persecution in #Turkey. As a powerful reminder of the human cost of #authoritarianism, Freedom Convention reflected heartfelt pleas for justice to the exposure of weaponized laws & the stigmatization of people as terrorists.

Painfully true! Cemal Yildirim: #Turkey’s regimes executed minors falsifying their ages. In this country, where bodies once bore more bullets than their ages, now girls aged 13-17 are being tried for alleged terrorism. The faces of fascism may change, but acts remain the same. #KizCocuklariDavasi

Lawyer Dilek Ekmekçi’s, who exposed the abuse of girls in state dorms, been imprisoned for nearly 3 months & on hunger strike for 27 days. She was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital, stripped of her clothing & handcuffed—a cruel act & sexual assault to silence her. #DilekEkmekçiyeÖzgürlük

The “Case of the Minor Girls” in #Türkiye reveals an alarming erosion of judicial independence - minors as young as 13 facing inhumane treatment, coerced confessions, violating int’l laws. Everyone must speak out to protect children & uphold the law. #KızÇocuklarıDavası @laledemirkazan.bsky.social

Women in #Afghanistan face a deadly dilemma under #Taliban rule: ❌ Banned from medical education ❌ Banned from visiting male doctors The Taliban's oppressive policies leave #women with no option but to suffer and die. This is erasure in action.

#Erdogan is more than an authoritarian dictator, and his influence extends beyond #Turkey’s borders. Take a closer look at whom he backs in #Syria or the alliances he forms—you’ll find the answer glaringly obvious.

Today, I spoke with a 17-year-old girl who confided in me about the deep depression she experiences as a young woman under immense pressure witnessing the turmoil & injustices in the world. It’s heartbreaking to see how these burdens & human cruelty weigh so heavily on the younger generation.

Drawing on my research & CSO work, I emphasized how #Erdogan’s #Turkey embodies a gendered & Islamist populist framework. Both secular & Islamist regimes oppress of women, with Erdogan’s Islamist populism intertwining religion & nationalism exacerbating polarization. www.youtube.com/live/3Zj3WtQ...

#Dersim Mayor’s been imprisoned on baseless charges, replaced by a trustee as part of a deliberate effort to suppress Kurdish identity. Recently, trustees have been appointed to the municipalities of Esenyurt, Batman, Mardin, & Halfeti, blatantly disregarding the democratic will of the people.

Human rights abuses in #Turkey are escalating, with minors facing arbitrary "terrorism" charges.40 were detained in a recent operation, incl. 15 minors (ages 13-17) coerced into testifying against their families.Their court hearings are on Sep. 23.We all must raise global awareness about this issue.
