Kaos GL Association continues to make access to information applications to various public institutions and organisations.

Kaos GL Association makes access to information applications to various public institutions and organisations to remind them of their duty to ensure LGBTI+ access to services. Bursa Metropolitan Municipality is among the institutions to which the association made an application for access to information.

In its application for access to information, the association asked whether the municipality conducts any special services, projects or programmes to increase LGBTI+ citizens' access to social services, health services or employment support.

The request for information also included the question of whether there is a special complaint mechanism or intervention policy to prevent discrimination faced by LGBTI+ citizens in accessing local services and whether the staff is trained on LGBTI+ rights.

The association also asked whether any measures were taken to encourage LGBTI+ people in poverty to benefit from the social assistance provided by the municipality.

1. Does your municipality carry out any special services, projects or programmes to increase LGBTI+ citizens' access to social services, health services or employment support? If there are such studies, can you share the details?

2. Does your municipality have a special complaint mechanism or intervention policy to prevent discrimination faced by LGBTI+ citizens in accessing local services? Is the staff trained?
