About this Report
This report publish by Turkish IGLYO Member ÜniKuir Association will serve as the first of their periodic reports, which they plan to produce in the future. It aims to monitor the LGBTI+ rights violations that occurred in universities in 2022 with a rights-based perspective.
Their study utilised a holistic approach that involved tracking rights violations reported in the media, examining legal and academic support applications received by the ÜniKuir Association, and analysing the responses to the “Report A Violation of Right and Discrimination in Universities” form. All of these aspects are covered in the report to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue.
Their case study involved the use of both qualitative and quantitative data collection forms to gather information on the rights violations and discriminations that LGBTI+ individuals encounter at universities. They collected qualitative data through follow-up of cases reported in the media and conducted focus group interviews.
Additionally, they gathered quantitative data from legal and academic sources, including data provided by the ÜniKuir Association and the Discrimination and Violation of Rights in Universities Reporting Form which was created by them in January 2022 and remained open for one year.
ÜniKuir Association did not include the violations in the case follow-up in the Legal and Academic support data of the ÜniKuir Association and the data obtained through the responses to the form.
