loathereality 27,650 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 https://www.boredpanda.com/440-shoes-in-turkey-memorial-for-women-killed-by-men/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=stickybar&fbclid=IwAR1j0pETND3g_F-WnozmT47o_ZcHogTCUgFGzU0dx1nWeT84S0eihHfIhHs Last year in Turkey, 440 women were killed by their husbands. Here is an art installation to commemorate them. It will stay for 6 months. "There is a certain beauty and strength in weakness as some may say. But sometimes inequity between people brings only sorrow. Such is the case of domestic violence, an acute yet so often unspoken problem all over the world. One artist in Turkey found it so heartbreaking and important, he managed to find a way to bring it to the awareness of his fellow countrymen that just couldn’t be ignored and also beautifully commemorate those who fell victim for this terrible violence so at least the memory of those wasted lives remains."

loathereality 27,650 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 This is especially significant for me. Being a woman in anywhere in the world is challenging. Personally, I received many threat messages on social media. And I feel threatened during my daily life just walking around in the city that I love. We need to respect and be kind to eachother.

Not just Turkey. Everywhere. Here in Australia at least one woman a week is killed by a partner or ex-partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
