Gece Yaniker

Gece was murdered. No other details are known.

Gece Yaniker, a trans woman who had not been heard from for a while, was tragically murdered by a man. The Eskisehir Pride Week Committee announced this hate crime on their social media accounts, stating, “The murderer of Gece Yaniker and the murderers of all other trans people are walking among us.”

In their announcement, the Eskisehir Pride Week Committee shared the following about Gece Yaniker, a 23-year-old trans woman living in Istanbul:

“We have learned that Gece Yaniker, a trans woman who had been missing for a while, was murdered by male violence. The responsibility for this murder lies with the palace fascism that targets trans+ individuals and fosters LGBTI+phobia. The murderer of Gece Yaniker, along with the murderers of all other trans people, are still among us. We promise Gece that we will intensify our struggle! Not one less!”
