International Advocacy

The Turkish Green Crescent Society is dedicated to promoting healthier living environments for future generations and improving public health policies. Its public health advocacy efforts aim to inform, engage and positively influence society as a whole.

Through rigorous research and analysis, the Society identifies key challenges and develops comprehensive, sustainable and holistic solutions. It monitors relevant policy practices, evaluates their impact, and provides feedback to the appropriate authorities.

Advocacy also involves proposing legal and administrative reforms to address emerging needs, ensuring that strategies to prevent addiction are prioritized within public policy.

These initiatives extend to national and international decision-making processes, where the Green Crescent actively contributes to shaping policies and ensuring its voice is heard globally.

Rooted in the belief that preventing addiction is a fundamental human right, all advocacy activities are guided by scientific evidence and reliable data, with the goal of ensuring everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy life.

The principles and methodologies underpinning the Green Crescent’s advocacy efforts are set out in the Advocacy Guide below.
