Description
Zahide Seker contemplated suicide many times after losing almost her entire family in Turkey's massive earthquake one year ago. Instead, the 48-year-old decided to pin her hopes on a fight for justice, demanding that those she holds responsible for the collapse of her building near the quake's epicentre in the city of Kahramanmaras are hunted down and brought to account. "I will not stay silent until justice is served," she tells AFP at one of the small container homes that serve as the temporary residences for hundreds of thousands of survivors across 11 quake-hit provinces. She is not alone in this struggle. Having lost daughters, parents, siblings, and husbands in the quake, Nebahat Pacala, Gamze Bilginer Dogan, Tugba Erdemoglu, and Ejder Kaplan are equally committed to doing everything in their power to ensure those responsible are held accountable. They seek justice not only for themselves but also for the countless others who, even a year after the earthquake, have yet to find closure. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
