Tell the Turkish Parliament to include Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in its New Constitution ยป
In Turkey, where the nation is debating a new constitution, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups are working around the clock to persuade their government to include protection from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
This is a landmark opportunity. In the last 3 years alone, upwards of 40 LGBT people in Turkey have been murdered. And so, LGBT activists have made their demands for protection known loud and clear to Parliament's Constitutional Reconciliation Committee.
