It is a mechanism that covers up the truth, diffuses responsibility and eventually makes us forget.<\/p>\n<p>What is more serious is the silence surrounding this event.<br \/>\nWhere are the political parties? Why are women's organizations fragmented, why selective? Does the perpetrator's identity determine who makes how much noise in which incident?<\/p>\n<p>If so, there is no \u201cright\u201d being defended; there is only a position.<\/p>\n<p>Those who are silent for Tuana today may have been at the forefront of another incident yesterday. But this inconsistency does not kill the struggle; it kills trust. The struggle for women's rights is not a topic that opens and closes according to the political conjuncture. Either it is defended in every situation or it has never been truly defended.<\/p>\n<p>The picture is even graver for political parties.<br \/>\nTheir reflexes are the same when faced with allegations from within their own ranks: Defend, pass, forget. However, politics is an office of responsibility, not a shield of protection. The identity, party or position of a perpetrator cannot change the way justice is administered. If it does, there is not law, but open decay.<\/p>\n<p>The test of women's organizations and civil society at this point is also clear:<br \/>\nIs a universal principle being defended, or is an ideological space being protected? If the reaction is selective, it is political, not moral. And what is political is often shaped by the balance of power.<\/p>\n<p>So it's not just about Tuana.<br \/>\nThe question is whether justice is really equal in this country.<br \/>\nThe issue is whether the lives of women and young people are considered less valuable than political calculations.<\/p>\n<p>The message today is dangerous:<br \/>\n\u201cIf you are strong you are protected, if you are alone you are forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Getting used to it, accepting it, normalizing it...<br \/>\nThis is precisely the real decay.<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to speak frankly:<br \/>\nSilence is not neutrality. Silence is taking a position in favor of the powerful.<br \/>\nSelective anger is not conscience, it is strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Demanding justice for Tuana is not a political choice; it is a fundamental ethical imperative.<br \/>\nBut an order that fulfills even this obligation by calculating it is no longer just problematic; it is dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is not just a life that is lost here;<br \/>\nIt is society's belief in justice.<\/p>\n<p>And once that belief is destroyed, no political discourse, no institution, no structure can easily rebuild it.<\/p>\n<p>Tuana is easy to forget.<br \/>\nThe difficult thing is to confront this order.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demanding justice for Tuana is not a political choice; it is a fundamental ethical imperative.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":284482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-284481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284481"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284483,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284481\/revisions\/284483"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
