In the days of Covid-19, women's lives got more difficult under the shadow of the slogan "Life fits into the home". Measures taken to protect against the virus have created an obstacle to protecting women from violence. The quarantine "measures", which caused the women who were subjected to violence not to escape from the perpetrators, rendered the suspensions, shelter houses, protection "measures" they made to institutions dysfunctional and many rights violations were experienced. "The most dangerous place for women is houses," the UN report published in 2019. was trying. According to the data of women's organizations and the Ministry of Interior, women were killed mostly in their homes. Because homes are the places where gender roles are reproduced the most. On the other hand, the striking increase in the applications made to institutions fighting against violence revealed that women did not give up fighting. Our documentary, which consists of three videos, built on the letters of women, focuses on the survival story of three women who struggled to survive and succeeded in a period that poses great risks for the struggle for equality.
