Notable statements

She has had to deal with a number of issues including;scandalous treatment of patients in women's refuges and orphanages, from neglect to girl orphans involved in prostitution, to physical assault bordering on torture of children.[3]

The events led to criticism of the lack of female staff and inspectors in these institutions, and subsequently to calls for Çubukçu's resignation.[4]
