“THE ROLE HEGEMONS GIVE WOMEN IS NOT THEIR NATURAL ROLE”

Jineology Committee Member Nupel Ehmed spoke about Jineology efforts and stating that women are still not recognized in society, said: “We say that women’s role has been lost, the role hegemons give women is not their natural role. Women have a historic role. We will show this role to society. And for that, it is important to start with the new generation. We will teach women and women’s history to both girls and boys. Because the issue belongs to both sexes.”
