Pink Life LGBTT Solidarity Association is organizing Turkey’s first trans network meeting in Ankara on 22-23 November 2010, with the financial support of Civil Society Development Center.

We are planning to focus on the problems, demands and solution strategies of the trans commnity in Turkey by bringing 25 trans individuals from 9 different cities of Turkey ( Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Eskisehir, Diyarbakir, Antalya, Mersin, Yalova). We hope that this two-days meeting will be an important start that brings the agents of the trans rights movement of Turkey.

The first meeting will be held in Ankara on 22 – 23 November 2010, the second will be organized in Ankara during the International Sex Workers’ Day Events of Pink Life in March 2011 and the third will be organized during the Trans Pride Events in Istanbul, in June 2011.
