In
the quality of President of the Director Council of the Global Fund
for Woman, Jacqueline Pitanguy participated in May of meetings with
groups of women in Turkey and Egypt and also visited groups of kurd
women in Dyarbakir, city close to the border of Iraq. In Turkey
there has been significant developments to assure the equality of
gender in the new civil code, for which the groups of women had
developed intense work of advocacy. A new penal code will be voted
this year, bringing important advances in this area. Although about
98% of the population is Muslim, Turkey is a lay state with absolute
separation between State and religion.
In Egypt, woman still faces significant obstacles, however, a situation
is precariousness for excercising the rights of citizenship. There
has been significant advances with proposals of changes in the civil
code, amongst which the withdrawal of the imposition of permission
of the husband so that a married woman can have passport.
