Turkey: Ministry dismantles family planning

ANSAMED:

In line with PM’s call for more children, newspaper

(ANSAmed) – ANKARA, NOVEMBER 24 – In line with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s policy to encourage families to have at least three children, the Health Ministry is dismantling its units tasked with family planning, according to the Turkish paper Aksam. As authoritative figures have said, equal rights have not been entirely achieved in Turkey and among the complaints on the condition of women the moderate Islamic PM’s call – who has four children – for every family to have at least three is often cited. Turkey is among the last places (126th out of 131) in the rankings of the 2010 World Economic Forum report as concerns the gender gap between men and women. However, the European Union considers the legal framework for women’s rights adequate in Turkey, a country with a population of mostly Muslims but secular legislation brought in during the 1920s and 1930s by Kemal Ataturk, who banned the Islamic headscarf and introduced divorce, abortion, civil marriage, equal inheritance rights and gender equality.

  1. The man is trying to reverse the trend to smaller families, the Islamic world is entering into this phase, if we can hold on until 2050 they will no longer be a threat. That is if we don’t have a major war before then.

  2. If they need so many more people then why did they export as many as they could to Europe in the last few decades?

    It looks to me as though they want more people even though they cannot handle the population they do now precisely because they INTEND to export even more of their people into Europe.

    Discuss.

  3. They want more people so they can export more people, there are more ways then armed force to conquer a nation.
