Cansu Şekerci from the CİSST has spoken about children staying in prison with their mothers: “It is forbidden to have toys in wards. Children are away from not only nature and social life but games as well.” Child inmates can also be held together with adults.

In the 29th year of the adoption of Convention on the Rights of the Child, 15 thousand children die of preventable diseases a day, 155 million children are malnourished and one out of every five children cannot go to school across the world.
