Sexual violence threat against journalist Şule Aydın
Journalist Şule Aydın announced that she has received a threat of sexual violence and has reported the situation to the police. Sharing an image on her social media account of a message containing sexual assault content written on the wall by her apartment door, Aydın expressed her fear, stating, "I don't know what to say anymore. There is a word written on the wall of my apartment. There is a stain on it. I think this was done during the night yesterday."
Stating that she filed a complaint at the Kadıköy Pier Police Station, Şule Aydın said, "In this process where I receive regular threats due to our journalism, I want the person or persons who made this sexual violence threat to be found. We are not even safe in our own home."
The incident experienced by Aydın serves as a striking example regarding the working conditions and security issues faced by female journalists.
In the media community, sexual harassment and threats faced by female journalists frequently come to the agenda. This situation has become a problem targeting not only Aydın but all female journalists. It is emphasized that social awareness must be increased, legal regulations must be strengthened, and security measures must be taken in the fight against sexual violence and harassment.

Oturduğum daire kapısındaki duvara, cinsel taciz içeren bir kelime yazmışlar. Ve üzerinde bir leke var. Dün gece saatlerinde yapıldığını düşünüyorum. Kadıköy İskelesi Polis Merkezi’ne şikayette bulundum.
