While women have led the protests against the tragic murder of Özgecan Aslan, men have also taken a stand against violence against women.
This week, men began using the hashtag #ozgecanicinminietekgiy – which roughly translates to "wear a miniskirt for Ozgecan" – and sharing selfies of themselves wearing mini-skirts holding signs of support.
Azerbaijan citizens speak a Turkic language and the country has strong cultural ties to Turkey.
On Facebook, one comment summarised the reasoning behind the campaign: "If a miniskirt is responsible for everything, if wearing a miniskirt means immorality and unchastity, if a woman who wears a miniskirt is sending an invitation about what will happen to her, then we are also sending an invitation!"
