Remziye Kiymik, the head of Mother-Child Health and Family Planning Foundation in Antalya said that they are faced with difficulties in their efforts to educate families on birth control. She said that many citizens are saying, “The PM himself tells us that we should make more children, and you come here to say the opposite” and they shut their doors to the educators.
Remziye Kiymik said that the number of people willing to accept support and assistance in family planning has been reduced to half, since PM Erdogan’s remarks.
