"Madam President, Turkey has improved its legal framework for women’s rights. However, the transposition of legislation into everyday practice is not at a satisfactory level. Violence against women therefore remains one of the most pressing problems in Turkey. I consider it shocking that during their lives, 39% of women encounter physical violence, and that every day, two to three women fall victim to their husbands, other family members or friends. The employment rate of women, which is approximately 24%, is closely related to the persisting differences between men and women in secondary and higher education. The 14 percent share of women MPs in the Turkish Parliament can also be considered to be a reflection of social reality. I welcome the report on the current situation and future prospects of women in Turkey. This report has systematically assessed the legal status and reality marked by violence against women, and also the actual participation of women in the labour market and in politics."@en1
