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

The human rights field that I have participated in was focusing on psychological aspects of immigrants in Turkey. The project was about contacting immigrants that were filed in a non-profit organization/ charity. The aim was to contact immigrants and get to meet them and check up on their kids atmosphere and ask them several questions to identify their psychological health, after that procedures were taken according to answers we receive. The project also was checking up on parents psychological health post everything they went through.

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

In Turkey, the issue we faced through my experience in this project that we didn’t get enough support to continue and help these people. Another thing relatable that consistency was absent.

What should be done to improve human rights?

Give more attention to aspects that societies don’t find major, while they are the main reason behind many things. Consistency and support to such organizations and projects.
