Quoting Joey: Quoting Joey: Quoting aenigma x: Quoting robyn  : yes but women got the right to vote etc in turkey long before they did in europe.... |
Hehehe check your facts Robyn  !
Some examples of dates when women could vote:-
Finland: 1906
Norway: 1913
Great Britain: 1918
Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia : 1919
Turkey: 1934
However, they did beat France and Romania!
|
I understood that only women over 30 could vote in Britain before 1928 and Turkey gave women the vote in 1926  |
Sorry aenigma I think you are right about Turkish women voting in national elections for the first time in 1934.The womens equal rights reforms started in 1926. :-S |
Thanks Joey. However you were right about the UK, I just didn't want to confuse things. They were allowed to vote if they were over 30 from 1918, then could vote if they were over 21 from 1928

thats what i thought..but apparently not  |
1926 - New Civil Law gave turkish women equal rights ( divorce ,inheritance, parental rights,etc..)
1930 - rights to vote and be elected to municipal administirations (Belediyeler)
1934 - right to vote and be elected in parlimenter elections
(In the following elections in 1935, 18 women got into the parliment .But although Turkey had many female ministers, mayors, Primeminister (Tansu Ciller),head of supreme court,etc ever since, unfortunately the percentage of women in the parliment is STILL too low.We need quotas for women,especially for Southeastern Turkey.
btw ,not only France and Romania 
Switzerland : 1971
Italy: 1948
1944: Bulgaria, France grant suffrage to women.
1945: Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Japan (with restrictions), Yugoslavia, Senegal and Ireland enact woman suffrage.
1947: Bulgaria, Malta,
1948: Belgium, which previously granted the vote to women, establishes suffrage with a few restrictions for women.
1952: Greece, extend suffrage to women.
1953: Hungary

HI ALL!!!
My askim will be finished with the damn military on August 12, the day after his birthday, and it has been been hard!!! 14 months ago i did not think we could do it, but we're still going, and STRONG! Except now he will have to go back to Iraq as a contractor so he can save up enough money for us to get married in Turkey. But i do see the end, and i can't wait. We first met when i was deployed to iraq in the us army, and he was there as a translater for the Turkish company Serka. Then he left to go into the military and i left to come back home. So we've been apart now for almost a year and a half. I love him dearly and encourage ANYone to follow their hearts, no matter how long it takes to get where it's taking you.
