A few days in Brugge and Kortrijk…

http://ift.tt/2fvyNnQ

I have come to Belgium to attend a series of lecture at Howest as part of an Erasmus Exchange program. The program includes a public talk, too:

Facebook event page here.

Lies Vanhaelemeesch and Ellen Taylor were excellent hosts and they are becoming my long time friends as we normally meet in Lisbon on April for 4 years for another project. Lies guided me in a walking tour before I had lectures at Intercultural Communication and Global Business courses. I have met a journalism lecturer Christophe Lagast in Brugge and had a productive chat and now I am in Kortrijk and I am hosted by Bregt Vermeulen whose hospitality I cannot really beat. During the public talk I will also meet with Dirk Vandenberghe

Swans in Brugge are lucky that not many Turks live in the city…

Dirk was kind enough to take me to Ypres, 20 km away from Kortrijk. Ypres is known with IWW paraphernelia through the notorious trench warfare…

Tomorrow morning I will have a lecture on verification issues in social media and I will fly back to Istanbul…

EFD Haftanın Web Projesi: Kadın Cinayetleri Haritalaması

http://ift.tt/1T173Ci

Medyaya yansıyan kadın cinayetlerinin haritalaması

Hemen her gün en az bir kadının öldürüldüğü, üçüncü sayfa haberi olarak gündemden hızla düştüğü Türkiye’de kadın cinayetleri konusundaki resmi veriler de maalesef birbirini tutmuyor. Kurumların şeffaf olmayan bu tutumu nedeniyle bağımsız medya kuruluşları ve sivil toplum örgütlerince takip edilen kadın cinayetlerine yönelik detaylı veri çalışmalarının, bu alanda çözüm üretme ve politika oluşturmaya katkısı yadsınamaz. kadincinayetleri.org sitesi bu noktadan hareketle, kadın cinayetlerinin veritabanını oluşturmak, kadınların ne tür bahanelerle öldürüldüğüne, cinayetlerde yaşanan ihmallere dikkat çekmek ve ortaya çıkan büyük fotoğrafın vahametini gözler önüne sermek; böylece kadın cinayetlerinin önlenmesi ve cezalandırılması yolunda çağrı işlevi görmek amacıyla hazırlandı.

Kadın cinayetleri verileriyle ilgili olarak Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar Bakanlığı, Adalet Bakanlığı, Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü ve Jandarma Genel Komutanlığı’na yapılan bilgi edinme başvurularının sonuçsuz kalması üzerine, çalışmamız medyaya yansıyan kadın cinayetleriyle sınırlanmış ve bianet.org (Bağımsız İletişim Ağı) tarafından kayda geçirilen Erkek Şiddeti Çetelesi’ndeki cinayet verileri temel alınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Araştırmacı gazetecilik faaliyetleri için mali destek sağlayan Objectivetarafından desteklenen araştırma, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 ve 2014 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. 2015 verileri de eklendikten sonra her ay yeni veriler dahil edilerek güncellenecektir.

Projenin hazırlık ve araştırma süreci Ceyda Ulukaya tarafından yürütülmüş; sitenin yazılımı Yakup Çetinkaya, tasarımı ise Sevil Şeten tarafından yapılmıştır.
