Children's beauty contest planned IN Antalya

In the written statement made by the Ministry, it was stated that it was deemed necessary to make a statement regarding the news about the organization in question in some media and digital media.

In the statement, it was emphasized that it is never acceptable to compete with children based on their physical appearance and turn them into commercial objects, and the following statements were made:

It is unacceptable for children to be competed based on their physical appearance, to be placed in aesthetic molds that are not appropriate for their age and development, and to be evaluated by adults' standards of beauty. Such organizations, which turn children into commercial assets, are incompatible with children's rights and the principle of the best interest of the child.

It is our fundamental responsibility to protect the physical, mental and psychosocial development of our children. No commercial activity, promotion or organization is more valuable than the rights and well-being of our children. Necessary investigations have been initiated by the relevant units of our Ministry. In order to protect our children, all necessary legal and administrative steps will be taken with determination within the framework of our duties and authorities, and the process will be followed meticulously.
