📅 14 Oktober 1997 📍 Türkiye; United Kingdom

In a statement dated 14 October, the Islamic Human Rights Commission reported sit-ins by women refused registration at Istanbul University because of Islamic dress and announced campaigning to lift the headscarf ban. This date marks the public advocacy statement, not a verified start date for every sit-in. The episode places women’s own demands for education and religious expression at the center of resistance to exclusion, including exclusion imposed within a Muslim-majority country.
