A social media post by Turkish Red Crescent Kayseri Branch Chairman Cafer Beydilli calling for sharia law that targets women's rights to education and work was strongly condemned by CHP Deputy Aşkın Genç. Genç stated that Beydilli should be immediately removed from his position and called on the Red Crescent General Headquarters to take action.
This post explicitly targeting women's rights to education and work is escalating political tensions over the secular order and gender equality in the country. The fact that an institution like the Red Crescent, which serves a broad segment of society, faces such an allegation raises questions about the institution's impartiality and may have legal consequences.
