Authorities restrict the use of caesarean deliveries in multiple childbirths
In a move that has sparked controversy and debate, Turkey's government has imposed a ban on Caesarean sections in all private hospitals. The ban, which allows Caesarean sections only in emergency situations, has raised concerns among many, particularly those within the Turkish community in Germany.
Turkey, a country located partly in Europe and partly in Asia, is home to a diverse demographic, including a significant number of residents in Germany. The majority of the Turkish population in Germany are immigrants or their descendants, who have made Germany their home primarily due to work opportunities.
The government's stated reason for the ban is to encourage more children to be born naturally. However, the main concern is that the government is interfering too much in women's lives. Many people in Turkey, as well as those in the diaspora, are expressing anger over this new rule.
A demand from many is for every woman to have the right to decide about her own birth. This sentiment is shared by many in Germany, where the Turkish community is deeply rooted. The diaspora in Germany has its roots in immigration for work, and the community has been an integral part of German society for many years.
Despite the ban, it's worth noting that the capital of Turkey, Ankara, continues to be a bustling city, and the majority of its residents speak Turkish. The ultimate goal of the ban, according to the government, is to increase the total number of births in Turkey.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this ban will impact the Turkish community in Germany and beyond. The issue has sparked a broader conversation about women's rights and the role of government in personal decisions, a conversation that is sure to continue in the days and weeks ahead.
