SAY STOP TO ABUSE!

Child means color, fun, being friends with a doll, a future with pure thoughts, hope with pure hearts, Narin, Sıla…

Unfortunately, the group most exposed to sexual violence in Turkey is children. According to IHD (Human Rights Association) data; 46 percent of sexual crimes in Turkey, which ranks 3rd in the world for child abuse, are committed against children.

In the 2016 TBMM General Assembly, the group proposal submitted with the aim of “Protecting Children from All Kinds of Abuse, Determining the Problems Experienced and Working on Solutions” was rejected with “no” votes. Again in the same year, an attempt was made to enact the “Legitimizing Rape Law” to whitewash rape. In 2017, despite all the reactions, the “Article on the Authority of Muftis to Perform Marriage”, which paved the way for abuse again, was passed by the Parliament. In 2018, the lifeless body of 4-year-old Leyla was found, and the lifeless body of 8-year-old Eylül was found. In the most recent incidents we experienced, the incident of 8-year-old Narin and Sıla babies devastated us once again…

Açıklama yok.

While I think that this picture that has emerged is a product of the government’s wrong policies. There has been a great increase in child abuse cases in the last decade. The current policies of the government are encouraging abusers even more. The way to prevent sexual abuse crimes is not to reduce good behavior; it is to increase the sentences. Stopping the attempts to cover up or prevent crimes is not a solution, but rather creates an encouraging environment for those who are prone to these crimes. The government’s duty is to provide preventive services that will eliminate situations where children are subjected to sexual abuse and protect them. Traumatizing children; forcing them to get married, to become mothers at a young age; not preventing their abuse and even killing remains a black mark on the country’s forehead. I hope that the necessary legal regulations will be put into effect as soon as possible in order to erase this black mark and to be the voice that a child cannot raise.
