I presented my PhD research to distinguished academic colleagues and policymakers at the VAWG Event yesterday. I am grateful for the opportunity and the thought-provoking discussions—many thanks for organising @SocSciScotland and @scotgov.

My SCCJR policy brief on GBV in rural Scotland has now been published.

It argues that rurality is not just a backdrop to abuse: it shapes how victim-survivors seek safety, support, and justice.

This connects closely to my research on GBV in rural contexts, particularly questions around space, inequality, and access. Looking forward to continuing this work — now increasingly in Türkiye.

Always happy to connect with others working in this area.✨

I’m pleased to share a recent publication in the @IJRuralCrim.

The piece reviews Woman Abuse in Rural Places (@Dekeseredy), reflecting on how rural contexts shape experiences of gender-based violence and access to support.

@FarmCrimePhD Thank you, Kreseda!🌼

@JanineEwen Research and advocacy should not be gatekept—what matters is that the work is being done to address these imbalances, not who is doing it. Wishing you all the best, anyway.

[Ülkü Baturoğlu-Balcı @ulku_ba]

@JanineEwen I appreciate your concern, but you have no idea about me or my research beyond my outsider status. You might consider reading the thesis before making overly judgmental assumptions. My work aims to highlight and challenge the very inequalities you mention, not to exploit them.(1)

@FerhatTura19 Teşekkür ederim hocam 🌼

[Ülkü Baturoğlu-Balcı @ulku_ba]

Significant work; a must-read!

My PhD research on GBV in rural Scotland also indicates that some concerns apply to lowland rural communities, suggesting a broader and more widespread pattern of human rights challenges that warrant further attention.

[Scottish Human Rights Commission @ScotHumanRights]

The Commission is concerned about the poor state of economic, social & cultural rights in the Highlands & Islands. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this report.
