UNICEF and TBB launch child-friendly legal aid project in Turkey
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Turkish Bar Association (TBB) have launched a child-friendly legal aid project to increase lawyers’ and bar associations’ knowledge of children’s rights and ensure equal access to justice for children in Turkey. The project, called the Capacity Building for Lawyers and Bar Associations on the Development, Protection and Monitoring of Children’s Rights Project (ÇABA), aims to provide comprehensive training programs on child-friendly legal aid and children’s rights for approximately 2,000 lawyers working with children in Turkey, as well as to establish Child Rights Centers in Adana, Aydın, Batman, Erzurum and Trabzon to strengthen the monitoring capacity of bar associations.
