Nach einer Recherche in unserer Länderdokumentation und im Internet können wir Ihnen zu oben genannter Fragestellung Materialien zur Verfügung stellen, die unter anderem folgende Informationen enthalten: 
“As concerns women's rights, amendments have extended the Law on Protection of the Family to all individuals in the family, including family members living separately. They have also abolished all fees for applications and administrative transactions related to court proceedings. The Turkish authorities have issued circulars to governorates, judges and prosecutors, with the aim of improving services to victims of violence. Implementation of the prime ministerial circular to combat honour killings and domestic violence against women is underway, under the coordination of the Directorate-General for the Status of Women. Cooperation between public institutions and civil society has improved and regular meetings are held with public institutions and women's NGOs to monitor the implementation of the circular. Campaigns to prevent violence against women are continuing, supported by the government, the media, the private sector and the UN Population Fund. Conscripts in the army receive relevant training as part of the existing curriculum. The number of shelters for women subjected to domestic violence increased to 33, including those operated by the Social Services and Child Protection Agency, municipalities and women's NGOs. The campaign conducted by an NGO to raise awareness about participation by women in politics and to promote female candidates in the July 2007 elections has been successful in drawing public attention to the issue. The need for more women in Parliament and the possibility to introduce quotas for this purpose was publicly debated. In the 2007 elections, almost double the number of women (51) was elected to Parliament compared with the previous Parliament. As regards institutional capacity, additional staff were recruited by the Directorate-General for the Status of Women. However, domestic violence against women is continues to be widespread. Honour killings, early and forced marriages continue to occur. Moreover, access to reliable data on the incidence of violence against women and of honour killings continues to be a problem. More shelters for victims of domestic violence are needed to meet the demand, and services should be improved. Training for law enforcement bodies, judges and prosecutors should be stepped up. In general, women's participation in the labour market remains low, although women occupy some high-profile positions. (See Chapter 19 - Employment and social policy). Women's participation in national and local elected bodies remains limited. Overall, progress has been achieved on protecting women from violence. The legal framework guaranteeing gender equality is in place. However, further efforts are needed to translate it into social reality. The gap between men and women in economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment remains significant.“ (European Commission, 6. November 2007, S. 18)
„Bei der Umsetzung eines Gesetzes über Gemeindeverwaltungen aus dem Jahr 2004 zeichneten sich nur mäßige Fortschritte ab. In dem Gesetz war vorgesehen, dass alle Gemeinden mit mehr als 50000 Einwohnern Frauenhäuser einrichten müssen. Frauenorganisationen verlangten von der Regierung, zusätzliche Mittel bereitzustellen, um das Gesetz in der Praxis wirksam werden zu lassen. Von einem Runderlass des Ministerpräsidenten vom Juli, in dem Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung von Gewalt gegen Frauen und Kinder sowie zur Verhinderung von »Ehrenmorden« erläutert wurden, ging das wichtige Signal aus, dass derartige Verbrechen als ernstes und verbreitetes Problem erkannt worden sind, dem dringend Abhilfe geschaffen werden muss. Im Dezember verabschiedete das Parlament eine Novelle zum Gesetz über den Schutz der Familie, durch die der Anwendungsbereich des Gesetzes erweitert wurde.“ (AI, 23. Mai 2007)
