KA.DER - KADIN ADAYLARI DESTEKLEME DERNEĞİ

KADER is a women’s organization which advocates equal representation of women and men in all fields of life.

KADER sees equality between women and men in all elected and appointed decision making bodies, where decisions concerning the society and the individuals are made, as a matter of democracy. Women in Turkey have established their presence in different fields of social life. However, in top management positions and especially in politics, women are still too far away from being equally represented. KA.DER was established in March 1997 with a mission to eliminate inequality, to provide participation of all citizens in decisions, and to bring women’s experience and resolution ability into social and political arenas. KADER strives to increase the representation rate of women in all decision making bodies, both elected and appointed. Considering the political arena’s determinative feature on social life, KADER defines ensuring equal representation, primarily in politics, as its main objective. Equal representation ensured in the political field will pave the way for equality between women and men in all fields.

KA.DER has 4 branches and 4 representations across the country. KA.DER head office is located in Istanbul.
