“HUMAN RIGHTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT”

Kuşadası Municipal Council Member Melahat Yaylacı said, “When we look at the point reached today in Turkey, we see that the value given to people has decreased significantly.

In accordance with the requirements of a democratic, secular and social state of law, to work to raise the status of women in the legal field and in life, and to protect women and children from all kinds of violence.
