伊斯兰正义与发展党(Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi,以下简称AKP)于2002年上台,承诺巩固民主和加强公民社会,以促进土耳其加入欧盟(EU)的努力。为此,正义与发展党在其第一届议会任期(2002-2007年)内实施了一系列政治改革,取消了对集会、结社和言论自由等政治和公民权利的限制,并改善了法治(Kubicek 2005; Müftüler-Baiden 2005)。正义与发展党,正如它在竞选中所承诺的那样,也让民间社会参与决策过程。在正义与发展党执政的最初几年,不同的公民社会行动者聚集在广泛的公民社会平台上,与正义与发展党政府合作巩固土耳其民主(Keyman 2010; Kubicek 2005)。虽然民间社会的伊斯兰部分开始融入世俗政治领域,并更自由地表达自己的要求,但伊斯兰妇女民间社会组织并没有充分受益于正义与发展党领导下的这一转变中的政治气氛。
The Islamist Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, henceforth AKP) came to power in 2002 with the promise of consolidating democracy and strengthening civil society to further Turkey's bid to join the European Union (EU). To this end, in its first term in the parliament (2002–2007), the AKP implemented a set of political reforms that lifted the restrictions on political and civil rights such as the freedom of assembly, associations, and expression and improved the rule of law (Kubicek 2005; Müftüler-Baç 2005). The AKP, as it has promised in its election campaigns, also engaged civil society into policy-making processes. In the initial years of the AKP, diverse civil society actors gathered on broad civil society platforms and worked with the AKP government to consolidate Turkish democracy (Keyman 2010; Kubicek 2005). Although the Islamist segments of civil society began to integrate into the secular political sphere and to voice their demands more freely, Islamist women's civil society organizations (CSOs) have not fully benefited from this transforming political atmosphere under the AKP.
