The solidarity of women is growing in the purple tents established together with political parties and social society organizations, launched by the Feminist Solidarity Network for Disaster.
The people affected by the earthquakes in Maraş are trying to heal their wounds with solidarity. The women's organizations that came together under the "Feminist Solidarity Network for Disaster" continue their work for women and children. The network went to 11 provinces affected by the earthquake with nine trucks and delivered pads, underwear and hygienic products to women.
On the other hand, "Purple Tents" were set up in the earthquake zone. Free Women's Movement (TJA) activist Yasemin Üçer stated that women's pads, underwear and basic needs are met in the Purple Tents they set up in Adiyaman (Semsûr) and called for support for the campaign.
Many women cannot be reached
Stating that women, like all earthquake victims, are going through a difficult process, Üçer said: "We are trying to reach women in every province and district that were affected by the earthquake. We are doing what we can for women. We brought women's sanitary pads, underwear and many other products. The shortcomings, however, still persist. The campaign must be supported. Thanks to all women's organizations, we reached more women with Purple tents from the first day and their needs were met in an organized way. But there are many women who have not been reached."
Üçer said that since the day it was founded, the campaign has been given great support and added that they would make the campaign they started permanent.
By calling on all women to join the volunteers, Üçer said: "The earthquake is a great wound and its effect on women is great. We will continue to carry out this work to help women. We invite everyone to join the volunteers. We call on all women to increase solidarity."
