The barbarity against women in Gaza has not received the reaction it deserves, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Tuesday.
"The identities of the perpetrator and the victim have once again determined the tone of the response," Erdoğan said at an event in the capital Ankara, marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
He said: "Two-thirds of the 70,000 Palestinians martyred in the Gaza genocide were, unfortunately, women and children. These are alarming numbers for those with a conscience."
"We will defend what is right regardless of the identity of the oppressor or the oppressed, and we will voice the truth loudly on every platform," the Turkish president added.
