Covid-19 pandemisinin bir yıl öncesinde ve ilk yılında Türk gazetelerinde ergen kızlara ve genç kadınlara yönelik bildirilen şiddet
Öz
Covid-19 pandemisinin insan üzerindeki olumsuz sağlık sonuçları tüm dünyada haber medyası tarafından bildirilse de Türkiye gibi ülkelerde rolü tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Bu çalışma, Türk gazete medyasında ergen kızlara ve genç kadınlara yönelik fiziksel, cinsel ve ölümcül şiddet olaylarının zaman içinde bir değerlendirmesini sunmaktadır. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler, Mart 2019 ile Mart 2021 arasında, bir yıldan önce ve Covid-19 pandemisinin ilk yılında yayınlanan fiziksel, cinsel ve ölümcül şiddete ilişkin gazete basınında çıkan haberler aracılığıyla toplandı. 3165 gazete haberinden 483'ünde (%15,3) mağdurlar 18 yaşın altındaydı ve yaş ortalaması 13.0±4.5 idi. Çalışma süresi boyunca, yakın bir partnerin neden olduğu fiziksel şiddet önemli ölçüde arttı (2020'de %32,6'dan 2021'de %40,6'ya). Lojistik regresyon analizi ayrıca, yakın bir partner olmanın fiziksel şiddetle ilişkili tek faktör olduğunu gösterdi (OR = 8.1, %95 GA 5.21-12.60, p <0.001). Türkiye'de yakın partner şiddetinin yaygınlığı göz önüne alındığında, gazete basınında Covid-19 salgını sırasında ortaya çıkabilecek hayati sorunları vurgulayan haberler, düşük kaynaklı bir ortamda iyi bir izleme aracı olabilir. Ergen kızlara yönelik şiddetin yakın bir partnerin neden olduğu tehlikeli sonuçlar konusunda kamuoyunun ve politika yapıcıların farkındalığının artırılmasında haber medyasının kapasitesinin geliştirilmesi bu konuda yararlı bir yaklaşım olabilir.

Violence against adolescent girls and young women reported in Turkish newspapers, before one year and in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
Öz
Although the negative health consequences on human being caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is reported by the news media globally, its role is not well understood in countries like Turkey. This study provides an assessment over time of the events of Turkish newspaper media reported physical, sexual and lethal violence against adolescent girls and young women. Data for the study was collected through newspaper media reports on physical, sexual and lethal violence that published between March 2019 and March 2021, before one year and in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 483 (15.3%) of 3165 newspaper media reports the victims were under the age of 18 and the mean age was 13.0±4.5 years. During the study period, physical violence caused by an intimate partner has significantly raised (from 32.6% in 2020 to 40.6% in 2021). Logistic regression analysis also showed that being an intimate partner was the only factor associated with physical violence (OR = 8.1, 95% CI 5.21-12.60, p < 0.001). Given the prevalence of intimate partner violence in Turkey, newspaper media reports highlighting vital issues that may arise during the Covid-19 pandemic can be a good monitoring tool in a low-resource setting. In raising of the public and policymakers’ awareness about the danger consequences of violence against adolescent girls caused by an intimate partner, capacity building of the news media might be a useful approach on this issue.
