2014 Ordinary Session-Thirteenth sitting-Tuesday 8 April 2014

On the “Annual Activity Report 2013 by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights

Ms BİLGEHAN (Turkey)* – Commissioner, I congratulate you on your work and I am pleased to learn that the number of your subscribers on Twitter has doubled. Several million users of social media in Turkey have been deprived of their access to information, as you probably know, but I was surprised to note that there is almost nothing in the report that is devoted to combating violence against women, and the difficult situation that women are in in general.
