Ferai Tinc: Let Its Feet Do Not Touch Ground

“…Even Guldal Aksit, the State Minister responsible for Women, says, “Our aim is not to satisfy women 100% in the new Turkish Penal Law (TCK) motion,” and adds that the new law should both comply with EU standards and keep its feet on the ground..…TCK Women Working group, composed of different NGOs, prepared some proposals to amend the new motion…However the controversy over the articles of the motion is still under way. We cannot advance as long as we take up such issues within the framework of not human rights but traditions and secrecy…It is impossible to understand why feet should be on the ground when it comes to women?”�
