lpv:translated text	"The objective of the Europe 2020 strategy is to restore the economy to its condition before the crisis. To ensure a competitive market, it is essential that women contribute to the economy. As a European Union candidate country, Turkey is required to uphold human rights and to continue carrying out and supervising the implementation of legislative reforms. We should welcome the gradual transformation of the role of women which is taking place, but a huge amount of work needs to be done in order to make it normal for women to be active in society, the economy and politics in particular. The greatest challenge for Turkey is to bring an end to violence against women. Data reported this year by the UN reveal that 39% of women have encountered violence at some point in their lives. Recently, however, a greater awareness of this problem has been noticeable, as is shown by the setting up of telephone helplines for victims. It is, however, essential to reorganise the system of shelters and operate a policy of zero tolerance towards violence against women. An improvement can be seen in the level of education among women, and the Ministry of Education is making efforts to eliminate sexist language and social-role stereotypes from school textbooks. The Turkish Government has decided to tackle the very low level of employment among women, which currently stands at 30%, by implementing reforms. An example of legal changes being considered is the introduction of amendments to Turkish electoral law so that it would stipulate a mandatory minimum proportion of women in the national parliament. The proportion of female members of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, which currently stands at 14%, would thereby be increased. These measures provide hope for an increase in the role of women in Turkish society."@en1
