This in-depth study serves as a compelling case study on the political participation and representation of women in pro-Kurdish politics in Turkey since the 1990s. Kurdish women, facing the dual challenges of ethnic and gender oppression, have played a pivotal role in the Kurdish national movement, engaging in both armed and political struggles.Beginning with the establishment of the People's Labour Party [Halk¿n Emek Partisi- HEP] in 1990, Kurdish women have actively contributed to pro-Kurdish party politics. Despite initial challenges in promoting egalitarian gender values, policies, and women's inclusion in decision-making, there has been a significant numerical advancement in women's participation and representation in pro-Kurdish politics since the 1990s.
