Özet:

In Turkey, a European Union membership candidate, female politicians and the gender politics of political parties have gotten recently more press coverage than ever. This paper is prepared on the Justice and Development Party’s (JDP) and the Republican People’s Party’s (RPP) political discourse analysis on gender politics and women politicians through the Yeni Şafak Daily. Every daily issue since the JDP’s foundation date (2001) is taken into consideration. According to the research results, both parties work for women’s scolarisation, violence and headscarf problems, as well as women’s participation in the economic and political life. Women politicians have activities particularly on issues such as charity, the protection of the family and the society. It has been seen that on resolving women’s problems, the two parties have never worked together and that Yeni Şafak, in line with its ideology, has been closer to the JDP women than to the RPP women
