Women sat silently on the Istiklal Street, the most central street of Istanbul, in protest of the murder of the Italian artist, Pippa Bacca and “male violence.” Bacca was raped and killed in Gebze, near Istanbul.
Bacca was hitchhiking in a wedding dress from Milan to Palestine to promote “world peace” for her project named “The Bride on Tour.” She had set off from Milan on March 8. She disappeared on March 31, when she arrived in Istanbul. Her body was found nude 12 days after her disappearance, in Gebze, near Istanbul. Bacca had been raped and killed. The suspect has been arrested.
Women gathered in front of the Galatasaray High School after a call by the Feminist Kollektif. Other women, who were just passing by, stopped for a few minutes and joined the protesters, who expressed their anger and sadness through “silence.”
Women held banners that read: “Male violence, not coincidence.” Feminist activist Filiz Karakus read a press statement following the protest. “We are sad, we are worried, we are angry,” said the women, in the press statement.
As women, who are struggling to bring an end to male violence and male dominance, we know that this murder, which is neither an isolated incident nor coincidental, will be judged under a justice system that is dominated by men and in a society that is dominated by men,” read the statement.
“Maybe the rapist will receive a slightly higher penalty due to the fact that the rape has been publicized, but our concerns as women and feminists continue and will continue.”
The statement also included a response to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who recently called on women to “have at least three children.”
“We don’t find sincere the grief of those, who are asking women to sit at home and look after three children,” read the statement.
“We are angry with all men including those who are sad, who are shedding false tears, who are ashamed, who are not ashamed, who are supporting us, who are not supporting us, whom we love. We are angry with all men who look out for the benefits provided to them by this system dominated by men, who preserve this power! We are very angry!"
Bacca had set off from Milan on March 8 for “world peace” and was headed to Tel Aviv. She disappeared after arriving in Istanbul. Her body was found in Gebze.

System of a Down - B.Y.O.B
Why do they always send the poor?
My God is of Bible blood with pointed ears
Victorious, victorious steel
Can your spending kneel?
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
La la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Kneeling roses
Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions
Every city, gripped in oil
Crying freedom!
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
la la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Blast off, it's party time
And we all live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the f*ck are you?
Where the f*ck are you?
Where the f*ck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Kneeling roses
Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions
Every city, gripped in oil
Crying freedom!
Handed to a obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
la la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sun
Where the f*ck are you?
Where the f*ck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
