“How come can it be appropriate for an unmarried young man and woman to share an apartment?”, asked Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to a woman journalist.

The answer from Kadın Gazeteciler Takipte (Women Journalists in Pursuit) Group was immediate and it came in form of a video, published in Bianet.

The video has been recorded by 30 journalists from Kadın Gazeteciler Takipte Group. Their responses were as follows: 

- Evet. (Yes)

- Bizim için uygundur. (It is OK for us)

- Münasiptir. (Appropriate)

- Pek tabii. (For sure)

“We, as women media workers, reject PM’s interrogative attitude on a female colleague of ours as well as the government’s discriminative women policies."
