Addressing an event marking the role of women in the foundation and development of the Republic, Erdoğan said: “We believe that our women, empowered by the richness in their hearts and their God-given acumen and capabilities, will spearhead a transformation that will embrace Turkey and the world.”

Drawing attention to the immense role women have played in every moment of Turkey’s endeavors for democracy and prosperity, Erdoğan stated that societies that marginalize their women actually renounce half of their power and potential.

“We have confidence in our women. We believe that our women, empowered by the richness in their hearts and their God-given acumen and capabilities, will spearhead a transformation that will embrace Turkey and the world. Together, we will carry on working for a more beautiful, juster, more peaceful, more secure, and more livable world,” the President said.
