Deputy Chairperson of the Parliamentary Group
Policy Coordinator, Working Group 5

I was born in 1971 in Tokat, Turkey and have lived in Germany since 1979. I went to school here and graduated in administrative sciences in 1998. I came into contact early on with Alliance 90 /The Greens because my parents took me along to anti-nuclear demonstrations. I soon became active in the Young Greens, and maintained my involvement at university and later at national level.

Alliance 90/The Greens have achieved a great deal. They have greatly improved the quality of life in our country. Germany has become a tolerant, liberal society with a bright future, and I can say this from the sharpened viewpoint of my own biography.

Many tasks await us in the coming years, and we Greens are ready for them. We alone can guarantee the continued social and ecological renewal of our country. As the parliamentary party spokeswoman on family policy I am concerned with the particularly important topics of children, the family and social welfare, and as a mother myself I am confronted daily with "issues of child policy", such as the number and quality of pre-school places. My family life provides me with a continual reality check on Green child policy. I am committed to making Germany even more child- and family-friendly.
