Defending the right to peaceful assemblies: the challenges of Türkiye’s LGBTI+ community

Es Yılmaz, a 26-year-old from Istanbul, is one of the dedicated organisers of ‪@OnurHaftasi‬ - the Istanbul Pride Week. One of her missions is to protect the LGBTI+ community from the attacks of the Turkish police, who resort to violence and torture in the context of assemblies. Despite these challenges, Es Yılmaz remains committed to her activism, driven by her unwavering hope for a more inclusive future.
