Turkeys president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan says men and women cannot be equal and has accused feminists of rejecting motherhood. His latest remarks were delivered at a womens conference in Istanbul, which included his daughter. Population Matters deplores this attitude. Women’s rights, gender equality and reproductive health are mutually supportive. Each makes the other more possible. We fully support measures to improve women’s participation in all levels and areas of society. We support the empowerment of women, both on a moral basis in terms of granting women their basic human rights, of which coercive pregnancy is a grave abuse. Empowered and educated women almost invariably choose to have smaller families.
