Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared 2025 the 'Year of the Family' to promote traditional, conservative family values in alignment with Islamic principles. This move follows Erdogan's longstanding emphasis on an increase in birth rates and the cultivation of a religious youth to counter cultural erosion he perceives in society. Critics, particularly women's rights activists, argue that the campaign aims to establish cultural hegemony in family policy, potentially basing it on Sharia law, thus reinforcing hierarchical gender roles and ignoring issues like male violence against women.
Erdogan aims to shape Turkish society around a conservative family structure, emphasizing traditional and Islamic values while criticizing modern gender norms in media.
Women's rights activists warn that the 'Year of the Family' campaign promotes cultural hegemony and intends to reinforce outdated gender roles and inequalities.
