The Greek Transgender Support Association (GTSA) has condemned a series of violent attacks and murders against transgender women in Turkey and has called on the Turkish Government to respond...

Turkey has one of the highest murder rates for trans people in the world and successful prosecutions remains rare.

On Friday, GTSA attempted to hand a campaign letter to the Turkish Embassy in Athens; however diplomatic staff refused to accept the letter.
