Today, we will focus on the stories of the strong women of the Turkish society and the rights they gained after the Republic. With the adoption of the law giving women the right to vote and be elected on December 5, 1934, a significant change was brought not only to their history but also to the social structure. This historical day is celebrated every year as International Women's Rights Day; It reminds us of the role of strong, brave and determined women in social change.
Recently, we launched the book "Strong Women of the Republic" at Sarıyer Municipality Yaşar Kemal Cultural Center. This book discusses the transformation experienced by women during the Republic period, the rights they gained and their contributions to society. In this meaningful event, we are proud to see that women have gained a place in every aspect of their lives with their achievements in gender equality and girls' education.
Women, who are the voice of the masses, have carried out many revolutions with their courage, determination and solidarity. I would like to thank our president Gül Şen, Güvercin Publishing House and everyone who contributed to this project, whether in the spotlight or in the background. Your support made a significant contribution to the birth of this book and to raising awareness about women's rights.
Strong Women of the Republic is not just a book; It is also a symbol of the struggle for gender equality. The fight that our women fight to be able to express themselves and defend their rights in all areas of society is actually a war that we all must fight. In this book, the self-confidence and determination shown by women during these struggle processes are the guarantee of our future.
The issue of girls' education is of particular importance. Education is key to achieving gender equality. An educated woman benefits not only herself, but also all members of her society. Therefore, it is the duty of each of us; To support and encourage girls' education.
Let's not forget that strong women form the basis of strong societies. With the inspiration we receive from the Republic, we will continue to work to ensure the presence of women in every field. Developments in women's rights have their effects not only in Turkey but all over the world. We have women who write a new success story every day.
As a result, the book "Strong Women of the Republic" reveals not only the history of women, but also the difficulties and victories they experienced. Each story inspires us and reminds us of how important the struggle for women's rights is. Let's all be a part of this cause and celebrate the power of women!
