Challenges of Place

Gender Inequality:
For many years the position of women in society has improved gradually

The inequality of the genders in the educational field directly affects the opportunities for the employment of women. 
there are still inequalities between women and men, and also between women from different sectors of society, in accessing important development sources, such as education, health and employment.

In my view, there are some challenges:
Language: Turkish is the official language in Turkey.
                    only 17% turkish people can speak English.
Turkish Cuisine - I do not like that much, not delicious to me

Religion: Islam is the largest religion of Turkey with 99.8% of the population being registered as Muslim, while other sources give a little lower estimate of 96.4%. Most Muslims in Turkey are Sunnis forming about 72%, and Alevis belonging to Shia denomination form about 25% of the Muslim population

women have to wear headscarf every where, specially in the public places
Women wear closed clothes, the same applies to visitors - people in open clothing may by denied to enter many mosque and public institution.
