Case of domestic violence, an acute yet so often unspoken problem all over the world.

One artist in Turkey found it so heartbreaking and important, he managed to find a way to bring it to the awareness of his fellow countrymen that just couldn’t be ignored and also beautifully commemorate those who fell victim for this terrible violence so at least the memory of those wasted lives remains.


These 440 pairs of shoes were hung up on the wall of a building in Istanbul, Turkey.

It was made by a Turkish artist and graphic designer, Vahit Tuna.

He chose high-heels as a symbol of feminine power and independence that he wishes all women had.

Still waiting for the rest of the post

Very deep.

Are our igbo brothers no more in Turkey to go and bargain price of all those shoes and send dem down to alaba

Really haunting... women or men, if you know your life is at risk, just run away. Don’t walk. Love is never a reason to lose your life to someone who doesn’t care for you.

This is brilliant, some artists minds are just immaculately polished with awesome ideas no strand of dumbness in them, when you run out of ideas they are just getting started, this is one beautiful way to create awareness big ups to the artist!! I hope those 440 women and the rest finds rest!!
Thank you Explorers

@ Op; thanks for bringing this topic on board. Pretty sad to know all these women died due to domestic violence. At all cost, domestic violence MUST BE condemned and not tolerated by any gender; be it male or female.

Really terrible, say no to domestic violence

440 in one year alone? This is a huge cause for concern

Mental illness no dey look face at all. Because even that handsome and snazzy looking guy might fall victim. Use your head.

It is well...this made me so emotional. May God help us. Domestic violence is a nono...how could you love someone at a point in your life, or like them enough to be in a relationship with them, yet hurt them till you kill them. Wow! It's unbelievable!

explorers I dey like ur thread,u dey give us some deep info.thanks

Domestic violence at all level should be condemned. Let's also learn to control our mouth when we are angry. Sometimes words causes more destruction than physical violence.

Kudos to the artist.

440 women in one year?

So turkey men like to murder women

impressive

If it were in Nigeria, some shoes would be missing.

If you don't have anything reasonable to say then keep quiet instead of making this kind of insensitive joke all in the name of commenting

Your type that goes to graveyard to steal the flowers

Quite sad

The artist did a good job

Not surprised to see your reply. Wasn't expecting anything less from someone who thinks that doing a shoe bargain for 440 women who lost thier lives due to domestic violence is something to make fun off.

Very useless comment.

Again, not surprised for someone who is devoid of making a sensible comment to a very sensitive topic that have affected people across the globe. You'll rather resolve to insults right?; I won't throw tantrums like you are doing; carry on mate, keep making fun at the topic.

May they find peace

Must they marry?

You are still being abusive abi You still haven't learnt anything. Many people have lost their lives as a result of this delicate subject and you think it is right for you to be making fun of the subject as well as being abusive on top of it make you continue you hear, keep playing fun and games until this topic will reach frontpage and then the whole world would see your lack of sensitivity on a delicate topic such as this.
