Many people in Turkey hide their sexual orientation or gender identity from their employers, public officials and even their families due to fear of violence or other negative treatment. They have no legal protection against discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Turkey must introduce constitutional change creating these protections and paving the way for comprehensive non-discrimination legislation.
