THE PLACE OF WOMEN IN POLITICS
There was only one female contestant in Turkey's 2018's National Presidency Elections and she could not pass the barrage.
The efforts that left-side parties exert to involve women in politics cannot be disregarded but the right-sided parties still insist to oversee the fact that more women should be involved in politics.
Tansu Çiller first and only female prime minister elected to date.
A total of 18 women became members of parliament in 1935, which was the year when women members were represented at the highest ratio in the parliament with 4.6 percent. However, as of 1946, when the multi-party system was adopted, a decrease in the number of women deputies was observed. Although the number of women taking an active role in politics has increased in recent years, the number of women are still considerably less than men
Women in Turkey obtained the right to vote and be elected in municipal elections in 1930 and in parliamentary elections in 1934. Prior to that date, the number of countries where women had the right to vote and be elected as members of parliament was 28 and the number of countries where women actually were elected as members of parliament was 17
In the last parliamentary elections in 2018, women's deputies are much less than men's deputies.
