20-year-old, Aslan was found
burnt in a riverbed in the city of Mersin in Turkey. The psychology student was
kidnapped on her way home on Wednesday and the driver attempted to rape her.
She reportedly fought him off with pepper spray, but was then stabbed to death
and also hit on the head with an iron pipe and that was how Aslan died -- not for
probably committing an offence against anyone, but for simply saying no.
We are in a society where
people, predominantly women have become prey and can be consumed by these
predators anytime, anyday, anywhere. People need to understand that there is
need for consent always.
"Yes, let's do
this".
"No, let's not do
this".
It's very necessary. One can
only hope that people would grow to understand the necessity of consent. I'm
tempted to ask "Do you enjoy sex when all you hear is screaming and
wailing from the other party?" I don't want to think of this. Let's be
more human.
Let's respect other people.
Consent is key
always. This cannot be overemphasized.

We join the women of Istanbul
who have held protests so far to express their anger to take a stand to end
rape.
Enough is enough. This
violence should stop. Let's be more aware and sensitive towards the yearnings
of other people.
Join the movement today. Take
a stand to end rape.
