This paper portrays how the two leading political parties in Turkey, the center-right Justice and Development Party (the AKP) and the center-left Republican People‟s Party (the CHP) approach women‟s political participation. Very conservative male AKP members believe women should get married and take care of children rather than getting involved in politics. AKP women idealize their chairman for his support towards female politicians. In the CHP, women‟s political participation is normalized among male and female representatives alike. Despite ideological differences, there is no significant difference between the women‟s rates in the decision-making mechanisms of the two parties.

TÜRKİYE’DE KADINLARIN SİYASAL KATILIMININ ALGILANMASI: AKP VE CHP ÖRNEKLERİ

Bu çalışma Türkiye‟deki iki ana siyasi parti, merkez-sağdan Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) ile merkez-soldan Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi‟nin kadınların siyasal katılımına yaklaşımları üzerinedir. AKP‟li muhafazakar erkek siyasetçiler, kadınların siyasete girmekten çok, evlenip çocukları ile ilgilenmesi gerektiğine inanmakta, AKP‟li kadınlar ise kadın siyasetçilere verdiği destek nedeniyle, parti başkanlarını övmektedirler. CHP‟de ise hem erkek hem de kadın partililerce, kadın siyasallaşması aynı şekilde içselleştirilmiştir. Yine de, ideolojik farklılıklarına rağmen, iki partinin karar mekanizmalarındaki kadın siyasetçi oranlarında belirgin farklılık görülmemektedir.
