The new Turkish Parliament has twice as many women representatives than previously. Turkish women's rights advocates emphasize, however, that it is not just the number of women in Parliament that counts. Ayse Tekin reports
International IDEA’s Board of Advisers had its first meeting of the year on 22 February 2021, welcoming seven new Board members. During the meeting, Ms Njeri Kabeberi was elected as the new Chair of the Board and Ms Laura Chinchilla as the Vice Chair for 2021. International IDEA rejoices to have two remarkably competent women at the helm of its Board and wishes them great success in leading the important work of the Board of Advisers going forward. The Institute would also like to sincerely thank the former Board Member and Chair, Emine Bozkurt, and the former Vice Chair, Sergio Bitar, for their excellent leadership of the Board during the past three years.
