The chapter focuses on negotiations that Kurds in European Diaspora and in Turkey undertake to balance between acts of citizenship (including public activism) and everyday life with their close ones. On the one hand, they often feel the vocation to work for the recognition of Kurds as a distinct ethnic group and are anticipated by their social groups to do so, but on the other hand, they have to balance between activism and maintaining relations within family. The need for such negotiation and time management falls especially on women—traditionally perceived as cores of family life. While contributing to the Kurdish struggle for recognition, Kurdish women activists are also often leading efforts to spread awareness about gender equality and have to cope with maintaining relationships and caregiving for family members. The situation of transnational Kurdish families is depicted in the chapter through the lens of participants’ perception of: their families and gender roles, public activism, and negotiations between various types of vocation. Narrations of participants point to generational change in terms of gender equality becoming a widespread topic. Application of acts of citizenship theory shows how both everyday negotiations of equality and public activism influence each other and combined contribute to gradual social change.
