Caption : Women do not need their bodies controlled, their hair or clothes judged, their behaviour constantly checked and their morals policed and their freedoms suppressed and their voices silenced by patriarchy. We want basic human rights, freedom, the right to be ourselves and to tell our stories, and dignity— the dignity that every human being fully and equally deserves. But misogynists want to erase women from the streets, from public space, from work and school and society, they want to erase women from life. Whether it is the Taliban in Afghanistan or the bigots in Turkey or the fanatics in Iran or the fundamentalists anywhere in the world today, they have this in common: They want to erase women, attack and destroy women’s rights. My deepest respect to the women and youth of Iran fighting for equality, dignity, women’s rights and democracy. It has been a year since #mahsaamini was killed. Never forget. Stand in solidarity with Iranian women #jinjiyanazadi #womenlifefreedom #womensrightsarehumanrights #womanlifefreedom #genderequalityforall #womensrightsmatter #smashthepatriarchy #globalsisterhood #intersectionalfeminism (pictures @sarahkessler.autorin @dwnews @nazaninboniadi @amnestyuk )📚📚📚 Tam bir sene oldu #mahsaamini öldürüleli İran’da. İster Afganistan’daki Taliban rejimi olsun, ister Türkiye’deki yobazlar olsun, ister İran’daki bağnazlar olsun,,isterse dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki benzer zihniyet… hepsinin ortak bir noktası var: kadınlara ve kadın haklarına düşmanlar. kadınları sokaklardan ve okullardan ve iş hayatından ve tüm kamusal alandan tamamen silmek istiyorlar. kadına tahammülleri yok. Eşitliğe tahammülleri yok. kadın düşmanlığı tüm yobazların ortak yanı. eşitliğe, özgürlüğe ve demokrasiye inanan herkese ve bilhassa İran’daki kadınlara ve gençlere yürek dolusu sevgiyle, dayanışmayla #kadınhakları #kadınyaşamözgürlük #eşitlik #kadınlarkadınlarıdestekliyorLikes : 9885

Caption : Silver Bestseller Award for The Island of Missing Trees. When I first started writing this novel, and I realised there was going to be a tree at its centre and the tree was going to talk, I was terrified. It was a big risk. If the idea of a “talking tree” did not work, the entire novel could collapse, but I wanted to take this literary risk because I kept hearing the voice of the fig tree inside my head and inside my heart, day and night, and I believed in her, and I wanted to honour the stories of nature, alongside the stories of human beings, both joyful and painful. So for me, this is not an award about “best selling”, it’s not about numbers. For me it primarily means that the voice of the fig tree touched the hearts of many others and for that I am deeply grateful. #theislandofmissingtrees #booksarethebestgifts #writersandpoets #womenwhowrite #literaryfiction #fictionwriters #booksbooksbooks #elifshafak #bookclubstagram #readinguk #readwithme #booksuggestions 📚📚📚 romanım #kayıpağaçlaradası İngiltere’de Gümüş Edebiyat Ödülüne layık görüldü, çok teşekkür ediyorum bilhassa okurlaraLikes : 9681

Caption : In 2022 Save The Children found out that 80% of children in Gaza suffered from deep emotional distress. Now? Even worse. Children are carrying the deepest traumas. As international community we have to push for humanitarian corridors, immediate ceasefire, a lasting peace, we need to come together to heal the wounds in the region. We have to contribute to healing, not to hatred. Children are traumatised. Children are dying. Please share any reliable good humanitarian international organisations that you know of. Let’s amplify good and positive and humanitarian efforts to heal the deepest wounds.

Caption : At the British Museum, this was an extraordinary event with the great Mary Beard. Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening.

Caption : 10 000 children were killed in 100 days in Gaza. Numbers do not fully express the depth of the trauma, the suffering, the immense sadness, the cycle of grief. Each “number” was someone’s most beloved son or daughter. I know many people across the world struggle to find the right words but we have to emphasize that always and always civilian lives must be protected. Children have to be protected. Humanity first. Coexistence is possible. Peace is possible. Love has to be stronger than hatred. Ceasefire now. (Photo credit @guardian ) @savethechildren @savechildrenuk 📚📚📚 100 günde 10 000 çocuk öldü Gazze’de.

Caption : I struggle to find the words to write. A young, brilliant Ugandan female athlete was murdered in cold blood in Kenya by a man whose cruelty knew no bounds. The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya’da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil. Kenya’da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya’yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye’nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli.

The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya’da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil. Kenya’da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya’yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye’nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli.

Caption : Imprisoned for defending #genderequality and #womensrights for supporting most basic and universal human rights. I find it very important that the brave and remarkable Narges Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. For so many years and decades she has defended human rights for all, although at tremendous and heartbreaking personal costs. She must be released immediately. ALL human rights activists held in prison in Iran (surely in Turkey as well) must be released.

Caption : A much loved Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided by the police in Israel and the booksellers were arrested and books were confiscated. This is unacceptable, totally wrong but it did not get enough attention in international media. Bookshops are among our last remaining spaces of free speech, cultural dialogue, empathy and connectivity. While I am glad that the bookseller Mahmood Muna and his young nephew were released today, I find it important that we raise our voices also for cultural spaces, bookshops and libraries. They must be protected and respected. I know this sounds like a “luxury” amidst such immense human suffering , but protecting booksellers and bookshops is important not only for a small literary community but whole humanity. I am attaching a statement put out by the Edinburgh Book Festival that explains in further detail what happened @edbookfest 📚📚📚 Kudüs’te çok sevilen Filistinli bir kitapevine İsrail polisinin baskın yapması, kitapçıları tutuklaması, kitaplara el koyup suç unsuru muamelesi yapması kabul edilemez, yanlış ve hazin. Bunca acı elem ve ölüm arasında kitapevlerini konuşmak zor ama kütüphanelere, kültürel ve edebi alanlara ve kitapevlerine sahip çıkmak önemli.Likes : 4264

We understand what it feels like to be in several places at the same time. His name is Ugur, in Turkish. What a beautiful human being. If anyone knows him please give him my warmest wishes, I hope people will support him and he will manage to buy that house for his mum.

Caption : Güzel gülüşlü, ceylan bakışlı çocuk… #Narin Günlerdir ne yazacağımı bilemiyorum, o kadar öfkeliyim ki… o kadar öfkeliyiz ki…. Boş sloganlara ya da hiçbir etkisi olmayan kuru laflara, tamtakır vaatlere ihtiyacımız yok. Bu ülkenin, memleketimizin kadınları ve kız çocukları sadece sokakta değil, asıl en güvende olmaları gereken yerlerde, yani evlerinde, aile içinde tehlike altındalar. Kadınlara ve çocuklara yönelik şiddet en acil gündem maddesi olmak zorunda. Hepimize habire “kutsal” diye dayattığınız aile yapılarını dürüstlükle konuşmak zorundayız. Güzelim çocukları koruyabilmek için, kadınları koruyabilmek için, daha fazla eksilmemek için, Narin’in değerli hatırası için, artık yeter! Bugün sadece suçluları en ağır şekil cezalandırmak yetmez, bu güdük yasaları da değiştirmek zorundayız. Tüm bir toplum için öncelikli vicdan meselesi olmak zorunda. Kadın ve çocuklara yönelik şiddetin tesadüfi ya fa fevri değil, sistematik olduğunu görün artık! #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır #kadınaşiddet #istanbulsözleşmesi #çocukhakları 📚📚📚 Her name was Narin, only 8 years old. I have been struggling to find the words. I feel so angry. The women of Turkey feel so angry. Violence against children and violence against women in Turkey do not solely come from the streets and strangers as it has been taught to us, it so often happens in the very place where women and children are supposed to be the safest: within the family. We have to talk about the family structures and oppressions. We have the change these broken old laws and adopt a new progressive legislation to protect victims of abuse and violence.Likes : 3257

Caption : Unutmadım, unutmak mümkün değil. #6şubatdepremi “Kimsesiz” değildi o, birilerinin evladı, canı, kardeşi, komşusuydu. Yaşasaydı ne kadar önemli işler yapacaktı o kız çocuğu. Hayalleri, hikayeleri vardı. İnsanların sadece birer rakama dönüştürülmesine veya kategoriye indirgenmesine hep ama hep karşı çıkalım. Çok zor bir coğrafya yaşadığımız. Dayanışma önemli, kızkardeşlik önemli, birbirimizin sesine ve hikayesine sahip çıkalım. Depremi unutmak yok, depremzedeleri asla yalnız bırakmayalım. #depremiunutmaunutturma #6şubat #insanlık 📚📚📚 I have never forgotten this photograph. I’ve never forgotten the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria precisely one year ago, leaving more than 50 000 people dead, thousands more wounded and traumatised. The earthquake was so devastating it affected more than 15 million people across 11 provinces and multiple cities. On this grave, on a wooden placard, it says “a little girl who has no one” but that’s not true. It’s not true that she had no one. She was someone’s daughter, sister, neighbour, beloved. Human beings are not numbers. People cannot be reduced to cold and heartless categories. Each and every person of all backgrounds who died in the earthquake had an important story. Let’s always honour untold stories. #untoldstories #turkeyearthquake #syriaearthquake #humanityfirstLikes : 2902
