HDP Women's Council spokeswoman Dilan Dirayet Taşdemir said that special policies against women have been put into practice especially in Kurdistan.

Underlining that violence against women has reached the highest level with the AKP government, HDP Women's Council spokeswoman Dilan Dirayet Taşdemir said that special policies against women have been put into practice especially in Kurdistan.

Taşdemir spoke to ANF about the issue of violence against women and the women's policies of the fascist AKP-MHP alliance.

Taşdemir reminded that during the AKP time violence against women has reached the highest levels, due also to the fact that "the government has implemented in Kurdistan and Turkey special policies targeting women. These policies are not new, and when the AKP came to power in 2002, it implemented them in a systematic way."

Taşdemir added: "In this way, the AKP wants to shape the society as it wants. It imposes slavery on women in the system it wants to create. Sexist policies are developing in all institutions of the state. Women who resist and struggle are the target of state institutions. The state only gives women the role of bringing children to the world and serving men. They want obedient and silenced women. Turkey has made several amendments to the law to destroy the gains of the women."

Underlining that there have been cases of women missing and never found, Taşdemir said: "Women are exposed to sexual abuse by the state and their supporters. The State has been implementing these policies, especially in Kurdistan. A dirty war is being carried out in Kurdistan, where policies of massacre, arrest, loss and assimilation are being carried out, targeting in particular young women and children."

Emphasizing that women do not only fight for women, Taşdemir said: "In time, this struggle has turned into a social struggle. Because social struggle is getting stronger with women, this makes them the target of dictators. When we look at the AKP's policies, we see that they make agreements with men over women, men are women enemies."
