We are a civil society organization that has passed inspections. We have systematically established our teams, sent our volunteers to the area, collected data, and carried out our work since the first days of the earthquake, and we continue to do so. We are in the field because we need to know what we are facing in order to solve a problem.

We call on all civil society organizations that have been in the field until now to unite and work together for our children.”

UCIM’s volunteer lawyers and experts who have served in the field provided information about the organization’s mission after the earthquake, child-focused disaster management, UCIM’s legal and reporting system, as well as the work done and to be done during this period to the celebrities attending the meeting.

Under the hashtag #CivilSocietyReadyForAction, UCIM made an open call on social media, inviting everyone to repair the destructive impact of the disaster on children, who they described as the society and our future.
