In most of the countries in the world and in Turkey as well, gender equality is recognized as a fundamental development objective and as one of the key principles underlying the democratization processes. In Turkey, women gained the right to vote in local elections in 1930. On the other hand, women’s suffrage in Turkish national elections was granted in 1934 earlier than most of their European counterparts. Despite to their acquired rights, today women experience a representation crisis in Turkey. According to 2015 Global Gender Gap Index of World Economic Forum, rated as the 130th among 145 countries, Turkey with 14% of women’s representation in the Parliament and %2.86 in local governments remains below the average European, American, Pacific, African countries and is close to the average of the Middle East and Arabic Countries.
