"As a candidate country, Turkey should commit to respecting the EU
specifically women’s rights and gender equality. Despite limited progress on women’s equal participation in social, economic and political life, there is still serious discrimination against women, and there is a need to implement the legislation already adopted on combating violence against women, including domestic violence, honour killings, and early and forced marriages. In addition to analysing the situation of women in Turkey, this report proposes concrete measures for improving their situation. Levels of violence against women remain extremely high, there are legal loopholes in victim protection and application is not uniform across the authorities involved. Illiteracy, as well as low participation in politics and the labour market, mean there is an urgent need for effective support measures to be applied within institutions and in society as a whole; in particular, there is a need for a change in mentality and for civil society to participate in applying this support. I consider it extremely important that these issues be safeguarded by the new Turkish Constitution and, at the same time that awareness of the importance of gender integration be increased."@en1
