IRAQI TURKMEN FRONT TURKEY REPRESENTATIVE DR. HİCRAN KAZANCI MESSAGE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ON THE 8th OF MARCH

Although significant improvement has been achieved in the development of democracy and in enhancing human rights standards as well as in the struggle for women’s rights,  today there are still countries in the world and particularly in those which have not reached democratic maturity, where women are subjected to violence, oppression, discrimination and ostracization and they are unable to benefit from education and employment opportunities equally.

It is another reality that women who make up half the population of the world are unable to participate in politics, management echelons and the working life sufficiently, due to gender discrimination. Domestic violence continues to be a major problem in many countries in the world.

On the occasion of the 8th of March International Women’s Day I take the opportunity to wish that this day will contribute to ending the violations of the rights of women and wish that all the women in the world have a just and egalitarian life free from violence and discrimination.
