About this Report
This research published by IGLYO Member UniKuir Association aims to present monitoring and mapping studies on Gender Equality in the Context of LGBTI+ Rights at state universities located in Ankara and Istanbul, by bringing LGBTI+ students in universities to the core.
In this context, it is planned to develop and implement two applicable and reliable measurement tools (scales) with adequate psychometric properties, so-called the “Focus Group Meetings”, “Legislation Review / Curricula Review / Policy Analysis/ Stakeholder Analysis” and “Access to LGBTI+ Rights Scale” and “Discrimination Against the LGBTI+ Community” in order to monitor the current situation of the LGBTI+ Community, access to the human rights and the discrimination they suffer in 19 state universities.
This study aims to lay the foundations for systematic monitoring of the LGBTI+ rights and the discriminations against LGBTI+ communities in Turkey on the basis of the universities, and to consolidate the access of the LGBTI+ communities to the rights, in particular the right to education and right to nonviolent life, in an equal and free university environment, and to enhance the gender equality at universities.
Creating the campus environment free of any discrimination, hate speech, violations of rights and violence against LGBTI+ communities by rendering the campuses safe and secure in terms of gender equality for the LGBTI+ communities enrolled in universities is considered to be one of the objectives achievable by this research indirectly.
