Life and work
Figen Yüksekdağ grew up as the ninth of ten children in a rural Turkmen[6] family in the village Gölovası, Yumurtalık, in Adana Province. She describes her family as devout, conservative and nationalistic. Nevertheless, her father made a point that his daughters were studying and were successful. During her time in high school, she began to engage in political activities and joined the labor movement. When she was arrested on an International Workers' Day demonstration, this led to conflicts in the family. At the age of 18 she left home and went to Istanbul; later the relationship to her family normalized again.[7][8]
