The human tragedy that occurred in the Gülşehir district of Nevşehir has brought the oversight mechanism of social services and the issue of meritocracy in public appointments back to the agenda.
According to the information obtained, a 41-year-old mentally disabled woman lived in the same house with her 81-year-old mother's corpse for approximately one month after her death. The incident came to light after the intense odor spreading to the surroundings was noticed. It was determined that the house was filled with piles of trash.
Following this tragedy, the following questions have come to mind:
- What are the units of the Ministry of Family and Social Services in Nevşehir doing?
- Why are disabled individuals not checked on regularly?
- How can a citizen who should be under state protection struggle to survive for such a long time without being noticed?
SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR HAS A BIOLOGY BACKGROUND
Another striking detail regarding the matter is the resume of the Nevşehir Provincial Director of Family and Social Services.
It is observed that the Provincial Director is a graduate of Biology Teaching and International Relations departments. Their appointment to this position despite having no background in the field of social services has reignited the "meritocracy" debate.
While experts emphasize that local oversight mechanisms must be strengthened so that disabled individuals do not become disconnected from the social service network, they state that it is of vital importance for such duties to be carried out by "individuals suitable for their education, background, and field experience."
A citizen's words, "if it weren't for the smell, perhaps that disabled woman would have died too," summarize the collapse of the system.
This incident in Nevşehir is not just a tragedy; it has also been etched into memory as a painful indicator of the lack of meritocracy in the state's social responsibility sector.
