The Rise of Muslim Feminism in Turkey

The feminist movement is evolving in Turkey, with a growing number of women in headscarves becoming active participants in protests and advocacy for women's rights. This change represents a shift towards inclusivity within feminism, as more Muslim women assert their identities and challenge traditional norms. Ramesa, a key figure in this movement, emphasizes the importance of visibility, stating that their presence can no longer be ignored and that their acceptance within broader feminist circles is a crucial development. The establishment of Havla, Turkey's first Muslim feminist association, exemplifies this progress by providing a safe space for Muslim women to engage with feminist issues and promote their rights.
