"I voted in favour of this report because one of the priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy is inclusive growth involving a greater participation of women both in the labour market and in social and political life. Pursuing gender equality policy contributes to growth and employment. Turkey, as a candidate country, is obliged to abide by the and to commit itself to respect human rights, including women’s rights and gender equality. Turkey is invited to continue carrying out and supervising the implementation of legislative reform, as well as organising awareness-raising activities to combat violence against women, including domestic violence. Turkey is making limited progress in improving and implementing the legislative framework so as to ensure equal participation by women in social, economic and political life. Sustained further efforts are needed to convert the existing legal framework into a reality because gender equality, fighting violence against women, including honour killings, and combating early and forced marriages remain major challenges for this country. Concerted and coordinated action is therefore especially needed in the areas of violence against women, education and representation at national and local level. Turkey, as a candidate country, must contribute to the implementation of Europe 2020 by committing to guarantee gender equality."@en1
