Nimet Baş[1] (previously Çubukçu[2]) (born 2 March 1965) is a Turkish politician and lawyer. She has been the Member of Parliament from the Justice and Development Party since 2002. She was the Minister of State (2005-2009) and the Minister of National Education (2009-2011).

Sayings and statements

She has had to deal with a number of issues including:

scandalous treatment of patients in women's refuges and orphanages, from neglect to girl orphans involved in prostitution, to physical assault bordering on torture of children. [3]

The events led to criticism of the lack of female staff and inpectors in these institutions, and subsequently to calls for Çubukçu's resignation. [4]

  • In the Rwandan parliament 54% of members are women, but can you claim that Rwanda is a democratic society, that women's rights there are more advanced? [5]
  • my informants are the children - (following the Malatya Orphanage scandal and criticism that there was not enough inspection of these institutions).
