"Turkey is a candidate country for accession to the European Union, and is therefore bound to observe the Community
and to commit to respecting human rights, including the rights of women and gender equality, one of the priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy. However, these rights are not always respected in Turkey, a country where violence against women continues to occur day after day. I believe that there is a definite need for a change of course, a transformation of the patriarchal structure of Turkish society and culture. This report calls on the Turkish Government to take concerted and coordinated action to implement legislative measures on women’s rights, their education and participation in politics. Turkey does not do enough to protect women. There are still countless cases of forced or early marriages. Development of better education for all is essential when it comes to fundamental rights."@en1
