In the İskenderun district of Hatay, 34-year-old Meryem G., a mother of two, stated that she has remained silent until now in the face of the psychological pressure and death threats from her husband, who is in the process of divorce and has subjected her to violence throughout their marriage. She said, "I will no longer remain silent; I want to make my voice heard before I die. If something happens to me, this man is responsible."
Meryem G., who sells souvenirs at her workplace in İskenderun, filed a criminal complaint against her husband S.G., whom she had been subjected to violence from for 8 years, and initiated divorce proceedings a year ago. Meryem G., a mother of two, obtained a restraining order against her husband. It was alleged that S.G., who went to Germany to work some time ago, has been sending threatening messages and exerting psychological pressure.
"I WILL KILL YOU WHEN I COME" Meryem G. shared a video on social media explaining the problems she faced with her husband and sought support, saying, "I want to make my voice heard before I die. My husband lives in Germany, but he constantly threatens me by calling me or through his friends. He says, 'I will kill you when I come. If I don't come, there are others who will do it.' These threats have become unbearable. I do not want to remain silent anymore."
"HE IS POSTING 'DO NOT SHOP FROM THIS WOMAN' FROM FAKE ACCOUNTS" Meryem G., who lives with her two children aged 5 and 6 and earns her living as a tradeswoman, claimed that her husband has been conducting slander and defamation campaigns against her workplace on social media, stating, "In addition to his personal threats, he is harming my business. He is posting from fake accounts saying, 'Do not shop from this woman.' He is playing with my livelihood. I have told his family many times. I said, 'Stop your son,' but there was no intervention. They brushed it off, saying, 'He doesn't listen.' I have experienced physical violence from my husband many times in the past; he even threw me out of the car while I was pregnant. He has threatened me with a knife multiple times. I have experienced all forms of violence. I was scared, I was suppressed, but I will no longer remain silent. My daughter does not want to see her father. My son avoids talking about these issues. My children are receiving psychological support," she said.
"AS WOMEN, WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER" Meryem G. stated that they are in solidarity with many women who have experienced similar situations, saying, "The women customers who come to my shop are experiencing the same things. We hug and cry, but we will no longer remain silent. As women, we are strong together. If something happens to me, know that I fought for my rights. I will no longer remain silent; I want to make my voice heard before I die. If something happens to me, this man is responsible. After I divorce my husband, I want to lead a normal life with my children. I want to live fully with my children, raise them, educate them, and provide them with a good future. I do not want to die."
