Despite extensive research on media representation in feminist studies, the inequality in media visibility of femicide victims remains a relatively less discussed aspect. This study investigated the Missing White Woman Syndrome of domestic and foreign femicide victims on the Turkish Twitter. Data on femicide cases was collected from the Monument Counter () platform and Twitter between January 2018 and March 2023. Our sample included 135 foreign and 139 Turkish victims, whose nationality, age, marital status, and social status were analyzed. Using Twitter's advanced search option, victim names were examined as exact phrases and hashtags within 30 days of the femicide. The findings indicated disparities in the Twitter visibility of femicide cases between Turkish and foreign victims. Foreign femicide victims showed more limited visibility than Turkish victims, and factors such as social status, age, and marital status affected visibility. By highlighting the prevalence of the Missing White Woman Syndrome in relation to femicide, the research underlined the importance of recognizing and challenging biases in social media representation to foster greater awareness, empathy, and social change to combat violence against women in Turkey and beyond.

土耳其推特上的失踪白人妇女综合症

尽管对女权主义研究中的媒体代表性进行了广泛的研究,但杀害女性受害者的媒体知名度的不平等仍然是一个相对较少讨论的方面。这项研究调查了土耳其推特上国内外女性被杀受害者的失踪白人妇女综合症。 2018 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月期间,从 Monument Counter () 平台和 Twitter 收集了杀戮女性案件的数据。我们的样本包括 135 名外国受害者和 139 名土耳其受害者,对他们的国籍、年龄、婚姻状况和社会地位进行了分析。使用 Twitter 的高级搜索选项,在女性被杀事件发生后 30 天内,将受害者姓名作为准确的短语和主题标签进行检查。调查结果表明,土耳其和外国受害者在推特上杀戮女性案件的可见度存在差异。外国女性被杀受害者的能见度比土耳其受害者更有限,社会地位、年龄和婚姻状况等因素影响了能见度。通过强调与杀害女性相关的失踪白人妇女综合症的普遍性,该研究强调了认识和挑战社交媒体代表性偏见的重要性,以提高人们的认识、同理心和社会变革,以打击土耳其及其他地区针对妇女的暴力行为。
