abstract="On 11 February 2015, a 20-year-old university student, Ozgecan Aslan, was violently murdered in an attempted rape in Mersin, southern Turkey. This event led to a mass Twitter protest in the country. Women across the country started sharing the hashtag #sendeanlat (&quot;#tellyourstory&quot; in English). In the current exploratory study, 164,279 original tweets were analyzed using the text analytic approach called the Meaning Extraction Method. <br><br>RESULTS revealed the key themes of reactions to victim blaming, honor culture/namus, assault experiences, social media, and women's responsibility. Policy, media, and mental-health-related implications and future research directions are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
