"Mr President, I was delighted today to be able to vote on a report from the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM). This is, for me, a rare occurrence, as so often these reports get bogged down in dogmatic political posturing and important issues are often lost in pointless rhetoric, but in this report we have some clear points being made, both in identifying Turkey’s progress and in detailing where more work needs to be done.
I welcome the tone of the report, which is neither hectoring nor lecturing, and identifies this as clearly a work in progress. I particularly welcome progress in Turkey in the areas of health and education for women and children. The appointment of a Minister for Family and Social Policies is a good sign, and I have been very impressed by her strong public assurances that the Turkish Government is continuing to escalate the issue of women’s rights up its agenda. Of course there is a long way to go, but we should be encouraging the Turkish Government to continue on this trajectory."@en1
