Outcome Report of the Meeting of Student Organizations, December 2, 2020
Anti-LGBTI+ policies continue to rise during the Covid-19 Pandemic. LGBTI+'s are affected by this process multidimensionally. Another group affected by the epidemic is the students and LGBTI+ student communities at the universities. LGBTI+ students, who have to return to their families or relatives, face many problems not only in terms of their families and relatives but also socially and economically. The student communities have difficulty in sustaining necessary contact with LGBTI+'s during the pandemic and are forced to suspend their activities.
The Kaos GL Association has met with LGBTI+ students and student communities within the scope of the online Pandemic Meetings program to discuss the problems caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic on LGBTI + students and student communities.
