Are the rights of LGBTI+ students respected in Turkey’s capital Ankara and the most populous city İstanbul?
This question is responded to by the joint report prepared by University Queer Research and LGBTI+ Solidarity Association (UniKuir) and Social Policy, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Studies Association (SPoD).
Within the scope of the joint report titled “Gender Equality in the Context of LGBTI+ Rights at State Universities in Ankara and İstanbul: Current status of LGBTI+ Students and Discrimination against LGBTI+s”, in-depth interviews were conducted with students, academic and administrative staff and alumni from 18 universities.
You can read the report, that remarks “In order to provide accessible rights for all components of universities, it is necessary to include and focus on LGBTI+s, for applications regarding gender equality at the campus, and accessible rights for everyone is possible on one condition only when LGBTI+s access equal rights at universities.” in Turkish here.
