In this study, we look at a particular version of violence against women: Violence against women who feed and help stray animals in urban spaces. We will examine the representation of violence cases against women and animals, mostly from their immediate surroundings and neighbors, in Turkey's mainstream media. Our analysis will be based on the right to the city, the right to mobility of women and ecofeminism, and mobility justice. We will conduct a content analysis of the online Hürriyet Newspaper from March 2020, when the pandemic-related closure started, until March 2024. Hürri- yet is the highest circulated newspaper in Turkey. After content analysis, we will be conducting semi-structured interviews with women subjected to male violence while feeding stray animals during field research.
