The main purpose of this study is to determine what kind of effect
(emotion) the sense of injustice, which is seen as the structural cause of
femicide in Türkiye, leaves in the social memory and what kind of measures such
an effect leads to taking to prevent femicide. In the study1, quantitative (number of
tweets-14,214 tweets) and qualitative (content of tweets and google questionnaire
conducted with 94 people) research methods were used together to analyze the
content of the data obtained. Therefore, in the methodology of the study, the
texts of the tweets in the sample group were first uploaded to the MAXQDA
computer software program, and then justice/injustice, basic principles of
justice, reasons for criminal injustice and positive/negative emotions were
entered into the system. The main finding of the study is that, due to the
violation of basic principles of justice in the Panoptic patriarchal legal
system in Türkiye, inadequate sentences given to perpetrators as the
representative of Panoptic patriarchal power, on the one hand, encourage other
men to resort to lethal violence; on the other hand, it leaves victims (and
potential victims) vulnerable to the injustice of condemning them to new
victimizations. The third party reacting to this situation is characterized by
intense feelings of anger, mistrust, helplessness and sadness, but nevertheless
hopeful that justice will be served.
