When female government employees return to work after giving birth, it is important to create a comfortable working environment where they can work while closely monitoring and taking care of their babies.

In order to enable female civil servants to use their full strength, energy, knowledge and time effectively in the field of work assigned to them due to their birth, and also to protect them from losing job security due to their responsibility to replace the generation, According to Article 36(1)(c) of the Federal Constitution, which stipulates that children have the right to receive the proper care they deserve from their parents, it is necessary to establish child care facilities in the areas where female government employees are able to fulfil their responsibilities. For them to grow up with support and care, According to Article 48(6) of Federal Public Employees Decree No. 1064/2010, which was revised, any government office must establish a nursery where female government employees can nurse and care for their children, so the childcare centres established should meet them.

                                                       Service of one centre

In our country, women and children are among the vulnerable sections of the society who are vulnerable to various problems due to sexual violence. Despite the changes in the management of the rights and safety of women and children, violence against women and children is still widespread. Among the problems mentioned as the reason for this are the lack of coordination of the relevant government bodies and the lack of understanding of the society. Therefore, to make the services provided to women and children who have been sexually abused effective and efficient, the centre will provide them with medical services from the police, prosecutors, psychologists and health professionals in health facilities, and will work to strengthen, support and monitor this.
