Göktaş said, “We are creating a digital shield with all the work we do. The digital world is an uncontrolled area, while the driving license and voting age is 18, the age to enter social media is 6… In the past, the danger was on the streets, now the real danger is in our rooms at home. We must declare social mobilization to protect children in the digital world.” Göktaş said, “The family is our strongest castle, strengthening the household strengthens the society.” gave the message.
Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş briefly stated the following:
INTRODUCTION OF THE DECADE OF FAMILY AND POPULATION WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN
On May 2, we will announce our vision for the Decade of Family and Population with the participation of our President. We did a lot in the Year of the Family, but we will take different steps to make these policies permanent in the Decade of Family and Population.
14 OUT OF 35 SOCIAL RISK MAPS ARE OK
We have been working on it for 1.5 years, we have completed 14 of our 35 social risk maps. We created household-based social risk scores by analyzing social, economic and psychosocial indicators. We conducted risk analyzes on a province, district, neighborhood and even household basis using 648 social indicators. With maps, different social phenomena such as violence against women, child dragging, and disabled people needing care are monitored in a holistic way. An early warning system that aims to intervene before risks arise. We will follow the results of the Social Risk Map with the “Family Guide” systems for adults and the “Children Are Safe” systems for children. We work in all 81 provinces with a digital tracking system. We went to the field in 81 provinces for our maps on child delinquency and violence against women. We work in partnership with all ministries, especially the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of National Education and Health. We will carry out our field studies on the social risk map on a case-by-case basis with relevant institutions.
For example; We have completed the addiction-related dimension of our social risk map in Batman. All units have been mobilized. We convinced 40 people for employment and 79 people for treatment at AMATEM. These are all processes. We can only get results if we work together. Our goal is to follow up the case and strengthen the family after detecting it. Family is our strongest castle, our most resilient castle. When you strengthen the household, society becomes stronger. That’s why it’s important to protect our family values.
ATTACK AT THE SCHOOL IN KAHRAMANMARAŞ
Recent tragic events have shown that we need to be more vigilant than ever against all kinds of risks surrounding our children. We have created a 6-month action plan for now in the context of Psychosocial Support. As part of the process, we were on the field with 258 personnel.
We visited 6 thousand 75 households around the school and contacted 3 thousand 160 families directly. We assigned personnel who are experts in the field of grief counseling to the citizens affected by the incident. We assigned personnel specialized in grief counseling to our children and their families who were discharged from the hospital. In this process, we established a support reinforcement team and a neighborhood-based special team.
We are closely monitoring our 72 children who lost their parents in the earthquake and were affected by the latest incident. We are also carrying out a special study for these children. We established a Psychosocial Support (PSD) Meeting Office in the area where the school is located, within the Haydarbey Neighborhood Headman’s Office. In order to prevent such cases early, we started our field studies in 81 provinces simultaneously regarding our Social Risk map of Child Driving to Crime. We provided online training to 14 thousand 834 professionals within the scope of Social Risk Maps and Children Safe System. We strengthen our protective and preventive activities by scanning the field with all personnel.
SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION FOR UNDER 15 YEARS OF AGE
It is very important that we regulate social media as a preventive measure. With this social service law, we created a digital shield for families. This is the first time in the history of the Ministry that such a comprehensive package has been issued, and for the first time we have an omnibus bill. At the same time, there is a very serious step towards protecting children. On the other hand, we are working to prevent similar incidents from occurring by expanding preventive measures and strengthening inter-institutional cooperation with our social risk maps. The will of the state is to support women, families and strengthen the family. To raise awareness about this issue not only in the family but also in the whole society.
WHILE THE AGE OF DRIVING LICENSE AND VOTING IS 18, THE AGE TO ENTER SOCIAL MEDIA IS 6
The digital world is an uncontrolled area, while the driving license and voting age is 18, the age to enter social media is 6…
In the past, the danger was on the streets, but now the real danger is in our rooms at home. When children sit quietly in their rooms, families think there is no problem. Now everyone has a phone, and families should set an example for children in this regard. We must declare social mobilization to protect children in the digital world. We cannot leave our children in the middle of a dark corridor.
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT CAN SERIOUSLY HARM CHILDREN
An action that children see as a simple and innocent game can have consequences that can negatively affect their lives later in life. Once they become criminally responsible, they may face serious penalties. Because social media and digital channels do not forget the digital footprint, they do not forget the visuals, they do not forget the pictures, they record them.”
The rapid development of digital technologies and the start of internet use at a very early age pose serious risks as well as opportunities. Harmful content, cyberbullying, inappropriate content in online games. Social media harms the mental, physical and psychological development of our children.
“Digitalization is one of the 5 main themes of our 2024-2028 Family Protection and Strengthening Vision Document and Action Plan. Digitalization is an integral part of our lives.
Our Action Plan for the Empowerment of Children in the Digital World. Many countries in the world have put this issue on the agenda. Australia has banned social media access for children under 16. We worked on a model specific to our country for about 1.5 years. It was also accepted in the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Our goal is to provide safer digital spaces for our children under the age of 15. In this context, we have imposed certain obligations on social network providers and game platforms. Will take necessary precautions, including age verification. Social networking providers and gaming platforms will offer parental control tools. Mechanisms that will enable them to respond effectively and quickly to complaints and applications, measures to prevent deceptive advertisements, a legal regulation that increases the responsibilities of digital platforms and protects our children from risks.
In Law No. 5651, game, game distributor, game developer and game platform will be defined. Game platforms will offer games by rating them in accordance with age criteria. Gaming platforms with more than 100 thousand daily access will have representatives in Türkiye. We also make regulations regarding VPN. We do not have a prohibitive attitude towards the gaming world. We act with an understanding that guides and supervises, not prohibits. Our main expectation is to have an institutional contact person to whom we can convey our demands. The sole purpose of our approach to games is to ensure the safety of our children. Our goal is not to ban technology; healthy use for our children, a national awareness and support ground that strengthens the guidance of families.
INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM THE RISKS OF THE DIGITAL WORLD
-The Digital Addiction and Family Workshop and the Children in the Digital World Workshops that we organized in 2024 formed the basis of our current global vision. Children, families and experts attended the workshops. We obtained striking data:
-The majority of our children spend 3 to 5 hours a day on digital media.
-The fun and competitive nature of games is the main factor that determines children’s playing time.
-Children’s focusing time is 8 seconds on average.
-The biggest danger is the removal of the age barrier. A 12-year-old child found himself with a 55-year-old adult at the beginning of the game.
-Children especially choose “stronger, darker and weapon-using” characters in games.
-While violent characters create the illusion of self-confidence in children, the anxiety of being watched pushes them towards social isolation.
-Vision and posture disorders, obesity, in front of the screen
-Excessive screen time causes brain decay, mental fog,
-Children see their success in games as superior to their success in real life.
-Parents say, we were not born into the digital world, we need digital literacy education.
-The biggest complaint of parents is communicating with each other by phone within the same house.
-Parents state that their children take social media influencers as more role models than themselves.
-With the results we obtained, we saw that it is not possible for a country to combat the lack of control in the digital world alone.
-We took the initiative we started to protect our children to a global dimension.
Türkiye IS A LEADER IN THESE ISSUES
-We discussed all measures, including our social media regulation, on an international cooperation basis. High-level participation from 21 countries, 13 of which were Minister level, with the honor of Mrs. Emine Erdoğan. Children were also included in the process at the meeting.
It has been a very important ground for increasing international awareness. A critical opportunity to advance multi-stakeholder cooperation,
-We published the joint final declaration in cooperation with our Ministry, UNICEF and the Special Representative of the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General on Violence Against Children. Using the age limit as a tool to protect children in the digital world has been evaluated by various countries around the world. The common will to ensure the safety of children on online platforms was emphasized. The need to determine stronger rights-based legal frameworks, to require digital service providers to take measures that can increase security, to strengthen integrated child protection systems that will support families, schools and child protection services, to carry out expanded digital literacy and awareness-raising activities, and to include children in the process as a part of the solution was emphasized.

Stating that investments ranging from education to consultancy, from health to infrastructure, from vocational training to production will offer new opportunities to the social life of the district, Göktaş thanked Arnavutköy Mayor Mustafa Candaroğlu and his team who contributed to the implementation of the projects.
Stating that what makes a city valuable is not only its streets and buildings, but also how people are touched is important, Göktaş said, “The city where the child grows up safely, where the family finds a hand next to them, and where the elderly are remembered, becomes truly beautiful. Life becomes more peaceful and fruitful where the path for the young is paved and the labor of the woman is rewarded.” he said.
Stating that the work and service approach put forward by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is to expand cities with services that center people, make life easier and touch every household, Göktaş said that the investments that were opened and the foundations of which were laid in Arnavutköy are a concrete reflection of this approach.
“INVESTMENT IN A CHILD IS THE MOST VALUABLE INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY”
Emphasizing that the Arna Children’s Kindergarten, which was opened, is important in terms of providing children with quality education at an early age, Göktaş stated that here children will learn and develop through play, and will experience friendship, sharing and self-expression at an early age.
Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş said, “We know that investing in a child is the most valuable investment in the future of a country. I believe that our kindergarten will be a good start to the lives of many of our children.” he said.

Great interest in the DOA application, which started in 81 provinces! First Lady Erdoğan: It will add value to our country’s economy
1 TL INCENTIVE FEE CAN BE EARNED FOR EACH PACKAGING
Öztürk stated that the DOA system is a holistic system that enables the separate collection of plastic, glass and aluminum beverage packaging at the source, their digital monitoring and their re-introduction to the economy.
“Our citizens will be able to earn an incentive fee of 1 lira for each suitable packaging by delivering plastic, glass and aluminum beverage packaging with the DOA logo to deposit return machines or manual return points.” Öztürk said, “In order to support the fair and sustainable functioning of the system for individual returns, we have determined 200 packages as a daily upper limit. The incentive fee will be transferred to the DOA wallet. Our citizens will be able to transfer their accumulated balances to their bank accounts, withdraw them from ATMs or use them for shopping.” he said.
Öztürk stated that the system consists of 3 phases and that they tested the 1st phase with a pilot application in Sakarya last year and said, “We are moving to the 2nd phase, that is, the national integration process. The DOA system has now reached the level to be implemented in 81 provinces and 973 districts. The 3rd and last phase will be the full dissemination period.” he said.
Pointing out that their goal is to transform the system into a permanent structure that can be easily accessed by citizens working at the same standards in every corner of Türkiye, Öztürk said:
“Every year, approximately 25 billion beverage packages become waste. When these packages are brought together, they create a volume that would cover approximately 100 thousand football fields. In other words, enough plastic, glass and aluminum packaging to fill approximately 100 thousand football fields are released into nature every year. We are implementing one of the world’s largest warehouse management systems to change this situation.”
Öztürk stated that within a year, they will put into service at least one deposit return point that citizens can easily reach in every neighborhood of Türkiye and said, “We will also continue to support our businesses in this process. While the number of deposit return machines increases, we will also provide the necessary field equipment to manual return points and ensure their strong participation in the system.” He made a statement.
“APPROXIMATELY 65 PERCENT OF 25 BILLION PACKAGING IS IN OUR HOTELS, RESTAURANTS AND CAFES”
Öztürk stated that they carry out the DOA system with a comprehensive infrastructure in which the entire process from producer to consumer, from return points to recycling facilities is managed digitally.
Stating that while markets, supermarkets, grocery stores and kiosks serve as return points for citizens, hotels, restaurants and cafes make a significant contribution to the recycling chain by bringing their own packaging into the system, Öztürk said, “I would like to underline the role of our hotel, restaurant and cafe businesses. Approximately 65 percent of the 25 billion packages we mentioned are in our hotels, restaurants and cafes. Therefore, every packaging collected in these businesses will directly contribute to our recycling and recovery targets. Moreover, our businesses deliver them in bulk.” “They will also receive an incentive fee of 20 kuruş for each package with the DOA logo.” he said.
Öztürk explained that businesses will complete their registration through the warehouse information management system and work with authorized operators, adding, “Collection, transportation and verification processes will be carried out in a safe, orderly and traceable manner thanks to this structure.” he said.
Pointing out that natural resources will be used more efficiently with the DOA system, Öztürk continued his words as follows:
“We will ensure that the quality recycled raw materials needed by our industry are met at a higher rate domestically and accelerate and strengthen the circular economy. The economic impact of this transformation is also extremely important. We foresee an annual decrease of 35 to 40 percent in beverage packaging raw material imports. This development will positively affect production costs and make a significant contribution to reducing the trade deficit, which will reduce foreign dependency. We foresee that the DOA system will bring an annual economic value of approximately 30 billion lira to the Turkish economy. In the next 20-30 years.” “We expect the system to create employment for 20 thousand people.”
MACHINES WERE DEVELOPED BY LOCAL INDUSTRIALISTS
Öztürk stated that they ensure that strategic raw materials are brought back into the economy within Türkiye and that DOA is not only an environmental practice but also resource security.
Pointing out that the machines used in the field were developed by domestic industrialists, Öztürk said that the technology developed by Türkiye in this field and the operation model it established will constitute an important reference for many countries that will establish a deposit system in the future.
After his speech, Öztürk sat in front of the DOA machine and demonstrated in practice how the device works.
The weekly press conference of the Ministry of National Defense was held for the first time at the Ay Yıldız Headquarters.
The highlights of the statement made by the Ministry of National Defense are as follows:
