I.Y., a mother of three in Gaziantep, shared a video on social media stating she has been subjected to violence by her husband of 16 years and fears for her life, appealing for help.

"THE MAN WHO BROUGHT ME TO THIS STATE..."

In the video shared by the victim, a black eye is visible as she says, "The man who brought me to this state walks around freely."

I.Y., a mother of three whose voice trembled while recounting the violence she endured, expressed with fearful eyes that she fears her husband might kill her.

The young woman, addressing authorities and the public, called for her cry for help to be heard and for necessary action to be taken. 

"I WANT JUSTICE WHILE I AM ALIVE"

The victim said, "This is my will. After I die, let no one defend my rights. Defend my rights while I am alive. I don't want it after I die. I want justice while I am alive. The man who brought me to this state walks around freely. I ask for help from our state. For the love of God."

The young mother, stating she has three children, noted that her husband is on probation and freely roams outside, adding, "I want to make my voice heard."

"I HAVE NO STRENGTH LEFT TO ENDURE"

The victim, who said she married at age 15, stated, "For 16 years, I have experienced every kind of psychological violence from this man. I suffered violence, stitches were placed on my head. He kept me at home for a month, not allowing me to collect any evidence. He prevented me from contacting my family, checked my phone, installed cameras at home, and watched me. I used antidepressants and sedatives for two years. I filed for divorce in January. I said I wanted to leave, but he constantly brought me back with promises. I have no strength left to endure. On the day I was to leave home, I called my aunt. My husband entered the room and grabbed my throat. If my aunt hadn't intervened, he would have caused me greater harm. When I went outside, he whispered in my ear, 'I won't send you away from here without killing you.' I ask for help from my state. Save me from this man. I ask for nothing else."
