Democracy Begins with Equality

The strength of a political party is measured not only by its political programme or the values it advocates publicly. It must also be measured by how these values are translated into action within the party itself. If we fight for freedom, equality and democracy in society, we must also continue working to ensure that these principles are reflected in our own political work

Within the Yarsan Democratic Party, women have the opportunity to participate actively in the party’s work, express their views and contribute to political decisions. However, it is important that we do not settle for the opportunities that already exist. We must continue to strengthen women’s political engagement, responsibility and influence This is not simply about being a member or attending meetings. It is also about taking initiative, putting forward ideas, assuming leadership roles and helping shape the party’s political direction

The party’s principles of equality, justice and democratic rights should not only be values that we promote in our political work. They should also be principles that we actively develop through our actions. Therefore, we should continuously ask ourselves: How can we create even better opportunities for more women to become politically engaged and play a stronger role in the party’s political development

The establishment of the Yarsan Democratic Party’s Women’s Union is an important step in this direction. It is not merely an organisational addition, but an opportunity to strengthen women’s collective voice and political participation

The Women’s Union should develop into a genuine political force within the party, one that takes initiative, raises important issues, puts forward proposals and actively contributes to the party’s political direction

Its work should therefore not be limited to commemorating special occasions or organising activities for women, but should be a natural part of the party’s overall political work

At the same time, I believe we must pay particular attention to the younger generation. As ayoung woman who has chosen to become politically engaged and take responsibility within the party, I recognise how important it is for young people to have opportunities to develop through active participation. Young women should not only be referred to as the leaders of tomorrow. They should be recognised as political participants today, who can already contribute ideas, perspectives and commitment

For this reason, I would like to encourage more young Yarsan women to become involved in the Yarsan Democratic Party and take part in the work of the Women’s Union.You don’t need years of political experience to make a difference. Political engagement often begins with curiosity, a willingness to learn and the courage to take part in discussions

If we want a strong future generation of female political voices, we must also create opportunities for them to grow, take responsibility and gain practical experience.At the same time, it is important to emphasise that this development is not the responsibility of women alone. The entire party has a role to play in supporting a political community where commitment is valued, new ideas are welcomed and members across generations can learn from one another. We must be able to discuss, ask criticaln questions and remain open to improvement

This is not a sign of weakness, but a prerequisite for political development Yarsan’s political future should be built on unity, equal opportunities and respect for the

contributions of all members. Women should not only be part of the party’s history and present, but also help shape its future. And young women should not have to wait  for their time to come. They should be active participants in political development already today

A stronger and more democratic Yarsan requires us to turn our values into action. It begins with engagement, responsibility and the willingness to give more women and

.young women an active role in the party’s future
