". . . in order to prevent violence against women, a "Platform to Prevent Violence" has been set up with the participation of members of Parliament, public institutions, universities, media and non-governmental organisations.
In his speech at the same conference, Turkey's Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said that "until women achieve the equal role that they deserve within the society, it will not be possible to reach the target of lasting peace."
"Gul argued that Turkey's role in the region required far more attention and and added that it was a mistake to believe religious and cultural traditions prevented women from having more important roles in the region. "Since the Islamic religion has come to being" the Minister said, "women have always been in the forefront of the society and have taken important roles."
This should be good overall, but I'm not sure if research would back up what Mr. Gul is saying.
