lpv:translated text	"In a number of aspects, the situation of women in Turkey is still of great concern. With our majority vote in favour of this report, we have condemned violence against women, forced marriages and honour killings. Women’s rights in Turkey must therefore be actively improved with a view to making them compatible with EU law. We want to send a strong signal to the Turkish political authorities encouraging them to implement public awareness-raising policies as quickly as possible and encourage the participation of women in politics. In this regard, the Commission has suggested adopting a mandatory quota system for electoral lists. In a social environment marked by a high rate of illiteracy and low level of education, this positive discrimination measure would enable women to become role models, thereby normalising the part they play in society. Currently, women make up just 14% of the Turkish Parliament. The European Parliament is therefore calling on the Turkish Government to set an example by promoting the role of women and practising equality."@en1
