Turkey’s family and social policy minister Tuesday marked Women’s Rights Day, which the country celebrates each year on Dec. 5 after Turkish women’s political rights were recognized in 1934.
In a statement, Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya said: “We are working to strengthen the status of women, to ensure equality of opportunities for women and men and for more women to take part in the decision-making mechanisms.”
Kaya described the 83rd anniversary of Women's Rights Day as a “milestone” for Turkish women involved in all aspects of politics, economy and social life.
In 1934, women gained the right to vote and be elected.
