Femicide is the killing of women or girls by “deadly power and hostile intentional targeting” because of their gender.
In fact, femicide is mostly the result ofconstant violence against some women by mechanisms that condone general patterns of discrimination against women and impunity for
perpetrators. In this study1, three emotions (pain, anger, despair) will be analyzed through tweets
about the prevention of femicide in Turkey. In this context, the study has two
related aims. The first of these is to identify and evaluate the deep traces
left by femicides in the social memory. The second is to discuss the legal,
socio-political and individual measures that should be taken immediately to
eliminate this brutal form of punishment. In the study, 79491 tweets were for quantitative effect
analysis; qualitative analysis was conducted on 14214 individual tweets ranked
in terms of impact. The most basic finding of the study: in tweets with
emotional content; it has been determined that emotions occur simultaneously and together and are closely related to each other.
These feelings, on the other hand, are the findings pointing to the existing
individual and structural causes of femicide and suggested solutions.
