Acting President and Speaker of the Republic’s Assembly Zorlu Töre emphasized that women, like in many fields, are actively representing themselves in the political arena, strengthening their presence.
In his message issued on the occasion of December 5th, International Women’s Rights Day, Parliamentary Speaker Töre expressed gratitude to all the compassionate women for their efforts and sacrifices in every aspect of life.
He stated that the rights given to women in terms of access and participation in democratic societies are undoubtedly of great importance.
Töre emphasized in his message that for a contemporary, democratic, and progressive society, it is essential to improve and strengthen the conditions for women, expand their areas of activity, and ensure equal opportunities in education, employment, health, politics, and many other fields.
Quoting Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, “A society that does not march towards the same goal with all its women and men cannot progress and civilize in technical and scientific terms,” Töre noted that this statement paved the way for Turkish women to have equal rights with men in social and cultural areas, education, law, family life, work life, and politics.
He expressed great satisfaction that the number of successful women is rapidly increasing every day.
Töre highlighted in his message that the achievements of women are a tangible example of the transformation and progress in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), which is rapidly advancing towards becoming a brighter country.
He mentioned that there are currently 11 female MPs in the Republic’s Assembly, and women, like in many fields, have an effective representation in strengthening their presence in the political arena.
Expressing his hope that the percentage of women MPs will increase in the coming periods, Töre stated that he wholeheartedly believes in the representation power and capability of women in every sector of society.
