• To boost gender equality in employment, a universal, affordable and accessible child care system is needed.
• Paternity leave need to be paid and be non transferable.
• Clearly defined and openly communicated gender equality procedures in working environments are crucial.

Our Policy Proposals 2
• Women entrepreneurship statistics need to be collected and publicly shared with all related stakeholders.
• Gender budgeting should be applied as the main method of annual state budget as well as the budgets of all public institutions and organizations.

Positive BUT NOT Enough!
Progress in EU negotiations is needed.
Gender equality reform process shall continue independent from the political gridlocks of Turkey’s EU membership process.
We need integration of all social partners, especially women’s NGOs in the follow up and monitoring process.
We need close coordination and synergy between social and political partners, with an embracing government.
We need to refresh the political commitment of the Turkish government and the EU…
