"Thank you very much, Mr President. Mr President, 8 March is an internationally recognised holiday, International Women’s Day. However, we regard this day above all as an occasion to appreciate the work of women for society. We appreciate women as mothers in families on Mothering Sunday. Sometimes, I do have the feeling that we serve simply as a reminder of certain terrible acts, such as, for example, the current violence toward women in Turkey, when violations of women’s rights have not been taken seriously even immediately around us. Physical violence in the family is the consequence of the inadequate work of institutions that fail to enforce the legal rights of women. Let us see, then, how we enforce political rights and social rights. Many governments, even the governments of the Member States of the European Union, and, unfortunately, I must say, even my government, have no women on them at all. How, then, should we see the role of women in public institutions from a European point of view? Thank you."@en1
