Turkey aims to raise standards of women and make them more visible in politics, a leader of the ruling Justice and Development or AK Party’s women branch said in Brussels on Wednesday.

Meryem Goka, vice chair of Turkey’s incumbent AK Party women branch, which has more than four million members, was one of the women rights experts gathered at the European Parliament to discuss the political participation and rights of women in Europe and the Muslim world.

“We are working on women’s issues and aim to raise women’s standards and make them more visible in politics,” Goka said.
