Naming the Violence: Feminicide, Media, and the Politics of Visibility
Beziehungstat, Ehedrama, Tragödie – relationship problem, marital drama, tragedy? How does media shape our understanding of feminicide? In this MeetUp, we explore the gap between reality and representation in cases of gender-based killings. Through examples from Germany and Turkey, we will discuss how language can normalize violence or make it visible. Participants will learn how media narratives affect public awareness, legal processes, and political action.
