The Social Freedom Party (Turkish: Toplumsal Özgürlük Partisi, TÖP) is a political party in Turkey, founded on 9 March 2020. Initially a part of Socialist Refoundation Party,[2] the group broke away from the SYKP in 2013 and established the Social Freedom Party Initiative (TÖPG), prior to declaring TÖP as a party in 2020.[3]
Perihan Koca is one of three spokespersons of the party, alongside Pelin Kahiloğulları and Juliana Gözen.[4] The party is noteworthy for the focus it puts on women's leadership and women's labour issues, in particular its women's organisation Purple Solidarity.[5]
