DP Congress
In the first parliamantery of Turkish Republic, the women number was 10%. then, we can reach this number once again in 2007, after 80 years. Same as the rest of the world women are not the choice of political leaders. In the men dominant politics women are considered only as a “side road” worker. Boil some tea, hang the campaign banners, listen to the orders! 3 years ago I have begin to politics as the consultant of the president of the party. then, at the elections I was parliamentary candidate from the first line/order. Man candidate at the second line/order preferred to work against me instead of working against competitor party. we couldn’t enter into the parliament. and the explanation of this failure was asked by me in front of public opinion, not by lots of men. The campaign I have started, excite even current party president who was away from the party for 7 years. At the end, we won at the superior congress. I became the vice president of the party. But I wasn’t the member of an aged group, I wasn’t listening orders and I was criticising all the wrong things so in a short time I became the person that the president doesn’t want. I faced with many oppressions. Lasty, I announce my candidacy for the party presidential against him (current president) at the congress. Even my microphone’s volume has turned down and I have faced with increadible oppressions. I have experienced all anti democratic things. I have experienced all these stuff as a woman in my party which’s name is Democratic Party. In the politics if you are alone/by yourself it is not enough to say real facts. I will develop new methods to struggle. I will continue/keep going in politics. > > ——————————————————————–>
