Which projects/works you have participated in the field of human rights?

Actually, we start working on Human Rights since our birth, because our mother's struggle to give birth to us or to feed us and giving us her love is actually counted Human Rights. If I need to specify my answer with projects; when I was a student at İstanbul Sabahattin Zaim University I was the founder of İZÜ ÖĞRENCİ TOPLULUĞU. (İZÜ STUDENT SOCIETY). We started to support the village and medium schools in the Southeast for education together with friends from different faculties. By preparing gifts such as boots, coats, scarves, berets, eld, school bag, stationery set, the 4-person Team from Istanbul communicated with the university students in the Southeast region and went to the schools to make activities and professional promotion by establishing a team of 30 people. We carried out joint projects by combining vehicles and manpower at the university in the region, taking with us the donations and sponsorships collected from the University in Istanbul, both for food and beverages. We felt the pleasure of touching people here, even going to schools and introducing professions, games, giving gifts and sometimes visiting the villagers. We went to refugee orphanages to carry out projects in districts such as Diyarbakır, Urfa, Mardin and Hatay many times. By adding neither memories nor stories to our roads, we were returning to Istanbul and having a lot of siblings, we still communicate. Our community still continues even though we graduated. During the university process, we organized charities to SYRIA, MYANMAR, ARAKAN, DOĞUGUTA and sent trucks full of vehicles by taking part in collecting financial and in-kind aid. This was accomplished with the support of each individual in the case of the uniform movement of the entire school. We know that we have brothers who sleep with cruelty and hunger at night, and we have to do our every gratitude both materially and spiritually and at the same time say stop to these cruelties. HAND, LANGUAGE BY FLUSH if necessary ... For this reason, we have organized a lot of marching rallies, we have adopted the motto to be the voice of the rights of oppressed geographies such as PALESTINE, DOGUTURKISTAN, ARAKAN, EGYPT and to fight. Our genius reactions are still continuing. (We often went to the BLUE MARMARA CASE, ACTIONS by services.) At the end of the university, Employee Youth Responsibility of Üsküadar District was assigned as Human Rights and Freedoms Foundation Volunteer. In this process, we worked on CATARAK SURGERY by working financially to create CATARACT GLASSES and empathize with people, and we tried to create consciousness by telling about the desert regions and collecting cash support. On this road we set out for the alms and gratitude of what our eyes see, God has made us a means by opening the eyes that cannot see. Thank God.

As the” For Africa” Representative we had tried to show the gratitude of our existence by explaining how the regions were exploited and their needs were not met by struggling to open water wells and meet the water need of the region. With the mercy of Allah, we made efforts for consciousness work and financial support in Istanbul in the ongoing water well works in Africa, and we were instrumental in the water well. We had realized the Yemen Project, in the face of the human tragedy experienced in Yemen, we organized a private Bursa trip for women, bought a bus for 44 people from the university free of charge and made a trip, and told the history and the Ottoman Empire on the trip, and the scope of the project was told about the persecution of Yemen.In Niger, we had the chance to coordinate the school, health center and mosque project in the base and sold cloth bags and made printed notebooks and donated the income to the IHH Niger project. We made a good profit by undertaking the marketing and sales business that we did not know about and donated to the project. Refugees International Refugee Rights Association responsible at my school, physical and online refugees in Turkey, shelter, education are covered by the Geneva by organizing this problem, we try to create a Saudi telling travelers. At the same time, we are making efforts to go to SYRIA and analyze the region and write a Legal Report. We carried out food, stationery equipment, concrete houses and tent projects in the region to continue education. It is the sale of brackets, it is the days of storytelling, we have worked for the projects with participation fee and donations such as the night of the queue. We are trying to explain the problem of the region and the value of humanitarian aid by going to many high schools. By forming teams of 100 people for orphans, we started sponsoring orphans together, thinking that unity is strength, starting from 15 TL, we carry out the responsibility of acquiring large orphan siblings with a lot of participation and higher donations and taking care of them annually. The right of orphans is our greatest plague and our goal is to be the voice of the oppressed orphans and make them laugh with the consent of Allah. By providing financial support to the Eid, we go shopping and bring gifts to our children to their homes. During the pandemic process, we are going to distribute the IHH aid. In Ramadan, we distribute parcels and iftar, we meet the needs at the same time, we salute and visit their homes. Our Human Rights Studies do not end, we have a long way to go, such as hearings, lawsuits, actions, projects, activities, visits.

As long as I explained above.

What are the main problems you encounter in human rights in Turkey?

There is no problem, but more budgets should be allocated financially. For this reason, financial and moral support is required for more effective solutions.

What should be done to improve human rights?

As human beings, our right to stop exploiting and return to our essence and live our freedoms of human right to life, shelter, thought and belief should be respected. International Law should be applied to HUMAN, not just a particular group. The people, who are instrumental in the games of the political powers, must be liberated. In the period when slavery was abolished and the primitive era was over, BIG COUNTRIES enslave countries to the extent of their power. The Slavery System should be removed. Personality rights are not determined by race. HUMAN rights begin when he/she is conceived and even after his/her death continues. Law is UNIVERSAL, not attributed to a mass or group. Establishment of peace and security. Resources from the orderly exercise of rights. May Allah make it possible to be among those who do it with His Right.
