Dear Children,

It is with great enthusiasm that I introduce the Child Rights Monitoring Committee, which will look after your interests, your problems and act as your voice for child rights in Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA).

Turkey is signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This convention initiated more comprehensive and advanced steps in Turkey in terms of child rights.

The Child Rights Monitoring Committee has been established for the purposes of;

  • Monitoring the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Turkey
  • Increasing sensitivity regarding child rights in public opinion and in the TGNA
  • Creating a platform for information about child rights through our web portal
  • Enabling the personal participation of children into the democratic legislation process on child rights
  • Being your voice in TGNA

The efforts of our committee will strengthen with your involvement.

We look forward to your participation.
