UNICEF Türkiye appointed Hadise, an internationally well-known singer, to be their newest Child Rights Advocate on Wednesday. The singer will be supporting UNICEF Turkey’s efforts to advocate to end child labor and violence against children in the coming year.
“I am honored to support UNICEF and the children of Türkiye. This is a dream come true,” Hadise said. She explained to have agreed to focus on issues that put children’s lives at risk, like violence and child labor.
“My message today is simple: Children learn what they see. So, let’s be role models to all children and adolescents of Türkiye and resolve issues through constructive dialogue. Let’s also provide every child in this country with quality, inclusive education, adequate social protection, free cultural and sports activities, and learning opportunities so that they can find decent jobs as adults and break the cycle of poverty,” Hadise pointed out.
Regina De Dominicis, UNICEF Representative to Türkiye, congratulated Hadise on this appointment and invited everyone to join Hadise and UNICEF Turkey in building a safe society that provides equal opportunities to every child.
