"Mr President, this report on a perspective for women in Turkey focuses on all of the important aspects inherently linked to human rights, and therefore I voted in favour of it. Despite the successes achieved in the area of women’s rights in Turkey, violence against women remains a fundamental and as yet unresolved problem. Statistics show that two to three women are killed every day by a husband, family member or former husband. We cannot allow such widespread violations of human rights in Turkey. Honour killings, forced marriages, marriages concluded at an early age and domestic violence are areas still lacking legislation to punish the guilty and protect victims.
Even though some forms of violence are linked to specific regions, we must constantly draw attention to their existence. We know from experience that the mere implementation of a zero tolerance policy is not enough to achieve the objective. It is necessary to have broad public support and a change in mentality regarding the status of women. This is also connected with support for education at all levels and for all children without distinction, in order to put across the fundamental norms of democracy and human rights."@en1
