This report deals with women' s discrimination in Turkey within the framework of the submission of this country' s sixth periodic report to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). It assesses some of the progress achieved and the measures taken while noting that the political will of the state has been insufficient to establish real gender equality. Faced with the lack of significant advances in the field, most of the demands raised during the previous review of the CEDAW progress must be reiterated (legal reform, allocation of resources, holistic change of policy).
