Quoting KeithL: This truly is dreadful. And it was a very bad idea. A woman hitch-hiking alone is dangerous. And doing it in a wedding dress made her an even bigger target. I am so sorry this happened but I think most people in Istanbul would have told her this is a horrible idea.
As safe as we all want to make Turkey sound, sometimes it is not. Good judgement just was not used here.
(No disrespect for this young girl, only sympathy for her and her family...) |
+1 I agree, it was very bad judgement on her side her and sadly it cost her her life. Tragic.
Hitch-hiking is a bad idea any time every where.

I feel very sorry for that girl and her family, however, as someone who lived in Venezuela for over 25 years, I can't see how a person, and especially a woman, would go hitchhiking around the world. Sadly, there's psychos everywhere and hitchhikers are one of their favored targets.

P.S. Yuzkarasi means shameful

Define irony - 'World peace' hitcher is murdered
news.bbc.co.uk — She "wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people", so she set out to hitchhike to the Middle East. End result: she gets murdered in Turkey at the start of her journey.

Quoting Roswitha: She should have worn a head scraf instead of a bridal gown |
Why Roswitha? Are you also blaming the woman when she is raped, because she "provoked" the man? Don't you see how immoral and woman-hating this kind of thinking is? Put the responsibility on the perpetrator, not on the victim!
Yes, apparently this woman made the wrong judgment, but this should only make it clear to us that something is terribly wrong here! Why are innocent people so cruelly murdered? Why do women have to be afraid of men? Shame!

It doesn't matter WHAT this woman was wearing.....bridal gown, head scarf, bikini.....how does it make any difference!?!? She was not murdered because of what she wore!

Quite amazing how easily we condemn women for what they wear and completely overlook a murder committed by a man!

Don't get me wrong, I dont "blame" this poor victim for her tragic end - obviously the blame there lies with the beast that murdered her. But it is truly sad that she apparently did not appreciate the level of risk. And by the way, this level of risk has nothing to do with Turkey - the same could have happened in the USA, Canada, Germany, etc.

Your comment focused on her wardrobe not the fact that she hitchhiked....which would have been the area of risk for her. So I hope you can understand how this could have been misinterpreted as blaming her for her clothing choice.
