Nurten Tatlıcı, the wife of deceased businessman Salih Tatlıcı, and their son Uğur Tatlıcı donated to the “For Every Child in Danger” aid campaign organized by UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund), an international aid organization, especially for children affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The biggest victims of wars are innocent children.

“Children are the biggest victims of wars. In wars, innocent children encounter tears, fear, violence, and pain that negatively affect their lives. Witnessing all these painful events through the media makes us ache deeply, like all people of conscience. No incident can be a reason to darken the lives of children. A world without war, where love and peace prevail, is the right of everyone, but most of all, children. Together with my mother, we supported the Turkish Red Crescent and the “International Committee of the Red Cross” for the people of Ukraine who were victims of the war. This time, we supported the aid campaign organized by UNICEF for children in Ukraine. On this occasion, we reiterate our wish that the diplomatic efforts will be concluded in a positive way as soon as possible, that the war will end, and that peace will be ensured permanently.” Uğur Tatlıcı said regarding the donation.

UNICEF – For Every Child

The full form of UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund. It functions under the United Nations. Its main task under that can be expressed as protecting the rights and laws of children, saving them from difficult situations, and providing material and moral support. UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) works for every child’s survival, protection, and development, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized. It has a strong presence in 190 countries, with 156 Country Offices and 34 National Committees. The priority areas where UNICEF continues its work are Education, Child Protection, Social Protection, Youth Participation, and Basic Needs. In addition, when necessary, interventions are made in the fields of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and Health and Nutrition. UNICEF, operating in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child signed by many countries of the world, strives to establish children’s rights as permanent, ethical principles and to bring the behavior towards children to international standards in line with children’s rights. Children’s rights is a universal concept used to describe all the rights that all children in the world have from birth, legally or morally, such as education, health, life, shelter, and protection against physical, psychological, or sexual exploitation.
