The Orkhon Inscriptions provide detailed information about the state administration, political life, customs, religion, and beliefs of the ancient Turks. The inscriptions extensively mention the role of Turkish women in political and social life, and it is known that the wives of the khans were considered equal to the khans themselves.

According to the information in the Orkhon inscriptions, women played an active and important role in the family institution and were also mythological figures in political and social life in Turkish society at that time. In Turkish history, the word 'mother' is always written before 'father', as seen in examples such as 'ana ata' in the Dede Korkut inscriptions. Despite the adoption of Islam, the position of women has remained unchanged. The Seljuk double-headed eagle symbolizes the equality of men and women.

 Women's Day, which dates back to 1857, was first observed in our country in 1921. In recent years, it has been celebrated more widely and on a larger scale in our society.
