"All Turkish ministries involved are working hard to implement projects aimed at giving effect to legislation on the improvement of women’s living standards. Even more importantly, these ministries are cooperating in the field of gender equality.
At the same time, I must note that the Turkish statistical office published telling data last year: 84 per cent of the 5 million illiterate Turkish citizens over the age of 15 are women. The employment index of women is not too encouraging either: the rate of employment among women is 63.9 per cent in the EU, and only 26.1 per cent in Turkey. Thus, there appears to be a twofold trend in respect of the appreciation and assessment of women in Turkey: globalisation, which gives women more freedom for self-realisation in private and professional life, and religious tradition, which continues to strongly permeate the fabric of society, are both present.
I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on her topical conclusions, and I especially welcome that her report was based partly on secondary analysis and partly on interviews. I hope that the interested parties will make good use of this report and that the positive trend observed so far, as outlined in the report, will continue in the future."@en1
