FULL SUPPORT TO CHILDREN

In addition to meeting all the needs of women who are victims of municipal violence, Çankaya Municipality also covers their children's needs in both education and health as long as they stay in the shelter, which contributes to the school and preschool education of children staying with their mothers.

WE STAND BY WOMEN

Çankaya Mayor Alper Taşdelen, who stated that the women who were subjected to violence took on the Çankaya roof, said that: “I wish that there would be no need for shelters but we will be with them as long as women need it.
