Gender Equality and its Functioning in North Cyprus Political Discourse

Abstract

We’re still in a patriarchy here, it’s still defining our norms, how to behave, how to please, how to be respected and we still play very secondary roles. I don’t think that women are getting a proper education. One which would allow us to acquire a sense of self and of separateness, we’re still not autonomous selves, we’re defined in relation to men. Men are our reference points. You never step back and say? Who am I, irrespective of that.
