For every child, equality
In the framework of the Country Programme Document 2021–25, Outcomes 2 (Adolescent Development and Participation/ADAP) and Outcome 3 (Child Protection and Social Protection services), UNICEF in Türkiye prioritizes (a) prevention of GBV, (b) prevention of child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), (c) advancing girls’ education, learning and skills; and mainstreams positive gender socialization across sectors.
UNICEF in Türkiye is cooperating with national stakeholders, including the Ministry of Family and Social Services (MoFSS), other line ministries, civil society organizations, private sector and UN agencies for the above-mentioned programmes. UNICEF has been leading the UN Joint Programme for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) since January 2018 with support from Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The Joint Programme aims to change social norms and attitudes towards gender equality; improve institutional capacity to prevent and respond to CEFM; advocate for preservation and advancement of the legislative and policy framework in line with international commitments; provide specialized services to survivors; and support financial stability and economic empowerment of families and girls and boys most at risk of CEFM.
In partnership with the MoFSS, UNICEF is supporting the social service workforce capacity for survivor-centered, gender-responsive and age-appropriate service delivery to women and child survivors of GBV and CEFM. National and local policies and action plans for advancement of women’s and girls’ rights and for the prevention of domestic violence are also supported.
UNICEF also partners with governmental and non-governmental organizations such as the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep and Kilis Municipalities, Mother and Child Education Foundation (AÇEV), Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation, ASAM, Turkish Red Crescent, and Support to Life to develop and implement various Social and Behavioural Change (SBC) interventions. These aims to generate evidence based and measurables social behavioural change in the communities through social mobilisation including knowledge and information sharing, awareness generation and community engagement.
