Headscarf controversy in Turkey
Overview of Islamic scarf controversy in the Republic of Turkey
The headscarf controversy in Turkey was a 20th and early 21st century controversy about women wearing Islamic headscarves. The Republic of Turkey had been a secular state since the constitutional amendment of 1937. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk introduced the secularization of the state in the Turkish Constitution of 1924, alongside his reforms. Over 90% of Turkey's population is Muslim,[1][2] and 30-40% of women veil.[3][4] and the suppression of hijab/headscarves and other prominent religious symbols in government institutions and public schools, (similar to policies in France, Quebec and Mexico)[5] led to heated controversy at times in Turkey. Specifically, it resulted in a clash between those favoring the secular principles of the state, such as the Turkish Armed Forces,[6] and religious conservatives, including Islamists. In the early 21st century, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reversed this,[7] and worked to "raise a pious generation" in Turkey.[8]
Atatürk never forbade the headscarf (the dominant form of hijab in Turkey, where it is called başörtüsü
