Analysis of women’s participation on Turkish publicly traded company boards
In 2012, Turkish Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMBT) took the first step about increasing women’s participation on Turkish publicly traded company boards with a soft law. However, under the framework of the Corporate Governance Principles of CMBT, the regulation did not have the intended impact and had very limited application. In order to draw attention to the issue and extend the influence of the regulation, supportive projects were launched in Turkey.
