“Imdat” – it’s a music video for Turkish singers Ezgi and Gunes.
This is how they commented this project:
“Violence against women does not exist in the family, it unfortunately extends to the streets, schools, workplaces, everywhere the society enters. When we come to 2022, we can see that this has not decreased a bit.
Unfortunately, in the society we live in, we women experience them directly without empathizing. Just as a face we don’t know can be our honor guard by finding that limit, we can’t feel safe anywhere in public transportation on the street. Living as a woman has a weight, and this is not a weight that comes with our innate gender. It is a burden given to us by the society we open our eyes to carry for the rest of our lives.”
The problem of inequality and rigidity towards women has no nationality and no time.
The director added UN statistics to the video: every third woman is subjected to psychological and sexual violence against men. 50,000 women a year die from domestic violence. And 19% of murders go unpunished.
This project was conceived as a reflection, what if women did the same to men? What if the world belonged to women? Could men then feel the same violence that women experience every day, for many years?
