lpv:translated text	"The Bozkurt report on a 2020 perspective for women in Turkey is extremely important because of the fact that the document raises fundamental issues such as combating violence against women, honour killings, the phenomenon of forced marriages and bringing an end to illiteracy among women. Of all the challenges confronting Turkey, preventing violence against women is one of the greatest. I welcome the plans to increase the number of shelters for women and the setting up of telephone helplines. I would, however, like to point out that as well as increasing the number of temporary measures, it is also necessary to make intensified efforts to change the mentality of society. Running information campaigns, discussing subjects related to gender equality as part of school education and implementing a zero-tolerance policy towards violence against women, particularly in the case of honour killings and forced ‘honour’ suicides, are essential elements in the process of changing the status of women in Turkey. I welcome the fact that gender-based disparities in primary education have been almost completely eliminated, as this will certainly contribute to ending the detrimental phenomenon of illiteracy among women. I would, however, like to appeal for greater attention to be paid to access to secondary education, where there are still significant differences between women and men."@en1
