Cyprus Health Tourism Council President Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. Ahmet Savaşan, Pointing out that the woman, who gives life to societies, nations and the man to whom she is constantly compared, is the source of life and the most sacrificial creature of nature, he pointed out that it is a great shame for humanity that women are not given what they deserve today, on the contrary, they are persecuted and subjected to violence.

Pointing out that both social and emotional divisions between women and men in the world and in our country sometimes bring about the need for women to defend themselves and emphasize that they have rights Ahmet Savaşan, “Violations of women's rights start within the family, spread and become socialized. However, discriminating between men and women and treating women as second-class human beings is an outdated and uncivilized practice that is beyond reason and logic. Considering the importance of women in the structure of the family and society, they should be prioritized over equality in every field. Because the child raised by a woman who lives and works in a healthy and safe environment forms the basis of a peaceful society.”.

“DECEMBER 5TH IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS...”

Emphasizing that women's equal participation in all areas of life is a necessity of the modern world Ahmet Savaşan, Pointing out that December 5 is an important day of struggle and solidarity in which women all over the world have expressed their desire to live more humanely since the beginning of this century, he pointed out that this day creates an important opportunity to bring women's problems to the agenda, to raise awareness on this issue and to find solutions to the problems experienced.

“REAL PROGRESS IS THROUGH EQUALITY WITH WOMEN...”

Stating her belief that women must be empowered for a democratic society Ahmet Savaşan, “We can talk about real progress in our country if our women benefit from equal opportunities and opportunities in all areas of life, from education to health, from the legislative, executive and judiciary to the business world, from politics to the economy, by expanding their working areas.”.

“WOMEN ARE ACHIEVING GREAT SUCCESS IN TOURISM AND MANY OTHER FIELDS...”

Stating that women are in the minority in parliament and in many other places Ahmet Savaşan, Savaşan stated that despite the legal arrangements and positive steps taken; TRNC is behind the modern world in terms of gender equality practices. Savaşan underlined that it is thought-provoking that women, who have achieved great success in education, science, health, literature, art, press, tourism and many other fields, remain in the minority in parliament and many other decision-making points.

“KKTC IS STILL FAR FROM THE DESIRED POINT...”

Stating that although issues such as women abuse, violence against women and gender discrimination are addressed in our country, we are still far from the desired point Ahmet Savaşan, “Although women and men are equal before the law in the TRNC, it is not possible to say that our women, who make up half of our population, can take part in all areas of life under equal conditions. What we need is first of all to accept this fact and then to take the necessary steps with sincerity.”.

“I WISH THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR SUCH A DAY...”

At the end of his message, Savaşan said, “With these feelings and thoughts, I congratulate all women on International Women's Rights Day, and I wish a world where every woman can enjoy her freedom and rights without the need for such a day, and I present my love and respect to all women.”.
