Notable statements
She has had to deal with a number of issues including;scandalous treatment of patients in women's refuges and orphanages, from neglect to girl orphans involved in prostitution, to physical assault bordering on torture of children.[3]
The events led to criticism of the lack of female staff and inspectors in these institutions, and subsequently to calls for Çubukçu's resignation.[4]
- In the Rwandan parliament 54% of members are women, but can you claim that Rwanda is a democratic society, that women's rights there are more advanced? [5]
- my informants are the children - (following the Malatya Orphanage scandal and criticism that there was not enough inspection of these institutions).
