Women's social and political engagement in Turkey

Overview

Community leaders and political figures have highlighted the importance of women's solidarity and participation in various sectors.

In Bursa, leaders of the Bursa İyilik İyidir Social Solidarity and Aid Association emphasized that solidarity involves “empowering one another, opening paths for each other, and leaving no woman behind” to drive societal change.

In Ankara, Yasemi Öztürk, a Member of Parliament and Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Law, Political Affairs, and Foreign Relations, spoke at a panel regarding the struggles and future of women in politics. Öztürk discussed the challenges women face in political ambitions and advocated for coordination among Turkic states to achieve success during periods of global instability.

At a panel titled “Being a Woman in Politics: Our Stories, Our Struggle, and Our Common Future,” organized by the AK Party Women's Branch, Öztürk shared her personal transition from a 13-year legal career to serving as a municipal council member in the TRNC. She encouraged women to pursue their goals despite societal discouragement, noting that determination leads to success. Addressing the current global climate, she stated that Turkic states can achieve significant success through coordination, while clarifying that these states do not follow expansionist policies.
