What is the challenge?
After encountering the reason behind the challenge, surely your heart must be shattered in pieces after knowing that even in the most advance era of all the times- 21st century when everyone has become so modern, women are still receiving such harsh treatment that it is tough to see and it is even tougher to feel what those women would have gone through and what these women would be feeling who are still under such brutal treatment.
The challenge is a protest again the condition of women in the Turkish region and specifically in Istanbul. It draws criticisms for overshadowing the Turkish femicide campaign.
The murder of women in the Turkish region has been increasing drastically and the government is not taking any appropriate stand or action against it. Women are being killed by their own husbands and their dead bodies are lying on the road, corner of a river. Turkish people are waking up to black and white dead body pictures of women published in newspapers and broadcasting on television screens.
The women across different nations are standing against it to pressurize the government to take necessary steps against the culprits to save the women community of Turkish and to prevail fair treatment for all. Women are standing for women and this campaign has received worldwide support. Every woman hopes this to end soon and all the women in the world live with respect, dignity, and integrity instead of subjecting them to injustice treatment and killing them brutally.
