Diyarbakır getting closer and closer to be a 'woman city'
DİCLE MÜFTÜOĞLU
DİYARBAKIR (DİHA) - DBP (Party of Democratic Regions) municipalities are creating projects that put forward the colors associated with women to make the city a more livable place.
Diyarbakır is being a pilot city in this regard as explained by the Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Co-mayor Gültan Kışanak, who also stated that this issue needs to be opened to discussion by all elements of the city.
‘First projects will start in small districts’
Kışanak calls for all women to come up with suggestions, ideas and plans and the municipality will be eager to work with them. Kışanak supported that women have the potential to transform the city and social areas and continued, “This project also aims the empowerment of women, their freedom, and creates spaces for their participation in social, political, and economic fields. Therefore, we want to create Women Cooperation in the districts to initiate this project with women”.
‘If we women come together, our children will be saved from streets’
Kışanak said that with women’s unification together with the resources of the municipality, they will save the children from the streets and further added, “since this project serves mother-tongue education, it is also against assimilation. Women will be able to attend economic and or political activities if they find safer places in which their children are taken care of. It is very important for this reason”.
