UNIW International Family Institute (IFI) Family Fiqh Desk International Agreements and Public Policy Desk Consultation Meeting

The first meeting was held online with the Family Fiqh and International Agreements and Public Policy Desk within the scope of the meetings with the IFI Working Desks, which will be held periodically with the decision taken at the last High Consultation Meeting (HCM). These two table members, other table heads and some experts also attended the meeting.

The meeting started with the opening speech of UNIW Secretary General, Atty. Ali Kurt, and sharing information about the table meetings.

Later, KAGE Co-Chair Dr Rabiye Yılmaz made a short speech. In his speech, Yılmaz said, “We want to make work desks functional with online meetings. We want to take concrete steps. On July 17, we held a meeting with academics working on women, families and youth at various universities in Turkey. Our aim was to establish an academic basis for IFI studies and to enrich it with academic studies. At that meeting, it was emphasized that statistical data, new studies in the field of concept and fiqh were needed, and that a special communication language should be developed in order to communicate with young people. As a result, we think that further and concrete steps should be taken for the Family Agreement, which we prepared with great effort,” she said.

In the continuation of his speech, Dr Yilmaz evaluated the latest developments in Turkey and the world, based on family, within the framework of the evaluation letter sent by these two desks recently.

At the end of the meeting, Secretary General Atty. Ali Kurt stated that the meetings with the tables will continue periodically. The Secretary General also added that the desks will work separately and that they will request reports on this axis.

After the wishes and wishes, the meeting ended.
