Feelings of insecurity 'a main problem among Turkish kids'

The continuous internal migration Turkey has experienced ever the course of the past decades is taking a toll on families and children, especially by creating feelings of insecurity, according to an NGO representative. "Being in the midst of uncertainty creates a feeling of insecurity," said Filiz Ayla, the general director of the Blue Pen Association (Mavi Kalem), which is an organization that promotes social solidarity. She added that this increases the number of children at risk. The same phenomenon is valid for Syrian refugee children, Ayla told Hürriyet Daily News ahead of Universal Children's Day on Nov. 20.
