PERCEPTIONS OF WOMEN’S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN TURKEY: THE EXAMPLES OF THE AKP AND THE CHP
Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper portrays how the two leading political parties in Turkey, the center-right Justice and Development Party (the AKP) and the center-left Republican People‟s Party (the CHP) approach women‟s political participation. Very conservative male AKP members believe women should get married and take care of children rather than getting involved in politics. AKP women idealize their chairman for his support towards female politicians. In the CHP, women‟s political participation is normalized among male and female representatives alike. Despite ideological differences, there is no significant difference between the women‟s rates in the decision-making mechanisms of the two parties.
