by İpek Emeksiz, Hürriyet Daily News, Turkey - “Our training programs are interactive rather than in lecture format. Female candidates share their experiences during our debates and realize they undergo the same hardships as the rest of the class – it doesn’t matter what ideology they adhere to,” Çiğdem Aydın, president of the Association for Educating and Supporting Women Candidates, or Ka-Der, told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review on Friday.
