Update: 2020-03-04
Description
Today, we're telling you what we know about the sexual exploitation of children in Turkey. For example, in 2017, major protests occurred in Turkey after the proposal of a bill that would have postponed the sentences of child sex offenders if they married their victims. In response to the outrage, the bill was withdrawn, but in January 2020 the government announced plans for a similar new bill to be introduced.
