Zeycan Rochelle Yildirim

Zey, is a feminist, an activist, an entrepreneur and such a beautiful person inside and out. Her instagram is a mix of the philanthropic endeavors she is a part of and her fabulous life in Istanbul, where she lives. Her true passion is in her work, a Foundation that brings further English education to students.

I came across her instagram page, when I was digging for the real meaning behind a #challenge that took place a few weeks ago on Instagram. The Challenge Accepted Campaign spread like wild fire, with thousands of women uploading black and white photos of themselves… some captions provided more information than other and yet I still didn’t understand what was going on behind this movement. So I thought I’d use my modest platform to do some research and give more information to my few but loyal listeners, on what is happening in Turkey right now.

To support the women in Turkey during the Femicide, I urge you to donate here: Purple Women’s Shelter Foundation.
