Our countdown to the 16th #FeministGeceYürüyüşü on #8Mart has begun.
We set off saying that for us #8Mart is not one day but every day.
Our #8Mart calendar is quite full this week too… First, TOMORROW we have a social media action:
We begin posting TOMORROW at 17.45; we continue until March 8!
We will write the slogans we gather through the hashtag on shared placards during the Slogan Workshop and preparations, hoping to expand our rebellion by enriching ourselves with one another’s words…
16th Feminist Night March

Suggestions submitted through the hashtag:
I dyed my white collar purple, darling!
I smash taboos; I don’t touch the dishes
We Don’t Want Love That Kills!
I personally weave the webs of my fate
Raise your voices for the 45 Pregnant Prisoners, nearly 700 babies and 17 thousand women in prisons!
We stand for life, not death!
Tell that to my clitoris
I shit on the way to a man’s heart.
Just when I’m about to be chaste, I burst out laughing
Life starts at 12, sweetheart
I didn’t come from your rib; you came out of my vagina
At least 3 orgasms a week
What’s this morality thing? I’ll smother it with my breasts
You kept saying family, family; you devoured our lives!
Keep your family; let us have our lives!
There is life outside the family; come, let’s breathe!
Keep your family; let us have our freedom!
Peace, Justice, Freedom; Your mother is a witch, my child!
We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn!
We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn! On the night of March 8, tens of thousands of us women will be in Taksim. Let #Benim8MartSloganım be about embracing witchhood:)
Never trust a prince!
Even when you need a miracle, place all your hopes in the witch!
we abandon neither the nights nor the streets nor the squares.
we will not be imprisoned in homes!
Still, love does not bow to bans!
In the streets with love in all its forms, #Benim8MartSloganım: “Love does not heed heterosexism!”
In this world where borders are drawn on our bodies;
we insist on peace through women’s solidarity that crosses borders..
neither “lady” nor “madam”: I am a woman, a woman
Am I your slave? No!
Which of us hasn’t loved feminism like crazy
Not a grave,
nor a divorce ombudsman,
a shelter! #Benim8MartSloganım: “We want life!” – in all its breadth..
We are women, not the family; we are in feminist rebellion!
let Martians do the housework, WOMEN make the revolution!
take your honor and your chastity and shove them!
We don’t want the wars fueled by patriarchy and capitalism! We want peace, we want tranquility; we defend life, not death!
We do not fall, we are not afraid, we do not obey!
equal pay for equal work!
To solidarity for our rights, to struggle for equality!
pull up your hair, Rapunzel; let the bastard use the stairs!
I’m in rebellion, I’ll be back!
We are women, not the family; we are in feminist rebellion. We do not accept the institution of the family they try to squeeze us into!
Women are women; your father is a flower!
The decisions about our bodies are ours! Abortion is a right, the decision is Women’s!
Our eyelashes will never fall to the ground!
We will not be the female bird that builds the nest.
we will not be the back-page beauty.
we will not be cheap workers in the factory
we will not be home early in the evening
just when I’m gonna be chaste I burst out laughing…
We Existed! We Exist! We Will Exist!

Labor! Equality! Peace!
