No equality in practice

Habibe Yılmaz, a lawyer who coordinates an Internet forum called the Legal Support Center for Women (KAHDEM), also criticized the removal of the 2004 amendment, saying: "Children can be protected because they are defenseless and the disabled can be protected to make them equal with others and elevate their status; however, women and men are already 'equal,' but women have been discriminated against in practice. Therefore we need affirmative action to close the gap."
