NATIONAL COLLABORATION FOR YOUTH HEALTH
The fundamental right for all, the “right to health and the right to a healthy life,” is defined not only in the national constitution but also in many international conventions.
This right and some services and facilities to be used within the framework of this right have been given more detail in some documents for “children and young people” and even “special regulations” in the context of “positive discrimination”.
According to official figures, 50% of the population in Turkey is under 20 years old. For this reason, the definition of these rights and their existence in practice are becoming more important.
Therefore, it is very important for our country that “young people” to be aware of these rights, to be informed about the rights, to be aware that these rights are “right, and thus to claim these and to benefit them in daily life and in practice”. This will also be beneficial in terms of developing the rights, expanding the content and scope, and expanding it.
