Turkey: the Situation of Kurdish Children KHRP is an independent, non-political human rights organisation dedicated to the promotion and protection of the human rights of all persons in the Kurdish regions, irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or other belief or opinion. With respect to Turkey, the protection legislation affords to some groups is not meted out to others. This report has been prepared to assess the situation of a group vulnerable on two accounts: children marginalised due to their Kurdish identity. |
Children require special protections against abuses and to protect their fundamental rights, recognised by various international instruments including the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Assuredly, adequate child protection is a challenge in all countries; however, it is significantly important that protection and encouragement of children’s rights occurs at all levels, for they are one of the most vulnerable segments of society. Turkey also faces challenges concerning child protection, specifically relating to economic impoverishment, failings in the legal process, discrimination, and issues relating to housing, nutrition, health, education, child labour, street children, juvenile justice and torture or ill-treatment. |
