According to a 2011 Deutsche Welle story, “‘Turkey: Women Want Equality in the Mosque,’ Turkey’s Diyanet, or Presidency of Religious Affairs, wants to encourage women to visit mosques and allow them to take part in Friday prayers beside the men. The institution, which presides over the country’s nearly 80,000 mosques, is hoping to change Islam’s misogynist image.”
