The rights Atatürk gave to Turkish Women
after the Turkish Revolution...
One of Atatürk's words to women:
"Turkish woman, you deserve to rise on your shoulders and in the skies. In line with these views, she recognized advanced civil rights
by ensuring the acceptance of the Turkish Civil Code on 17-February 1926.
Civil rights given to Turkish women.
1-The principle of marrying only one woman and the marriage age limit.
2-The woman who is about to get married will never be forced to marry, and will personally express her consent to marriage to the
marriage officer.
3-He gave the right of custody to the woman.
4-Men and women had separate inheritance rights.
5- It abolished the man's right to divorce the woman whenever he wanted and replaced it with the clause that men and women can
divorce equally, but only for certain reasons by filing a lawsuit.
6-Every woman can testify in court.
7-It gave women who did not have the right to education the right to vote and be elected.
In 1934, 18 women entered the parliament as deputies.
The principles that Atatürk put into practice the views he put forward many years ago on women's rights and the status of women
were included in human rights declarations and agreements and the Constitutions of civilized countries many years later.
