The English translation of the “An (Insider’s) Look at the Legal Agenda of LGBTI+ People: 2019-2020” is published!
With this publication, we wanted to look at the legal agendas of LGBTI+ individuals by presenting the social and political backgrounds of these agendas. As legal issues concerning LGBTI+ people are frequently conveyed in both mainstream media and social media with discriminatory discourses and misinformation; we aim to convey an inside word on these issues. In this publication, we requested articles from both SPoD Legal Team network on their fields of work and from lawyers working on issues/cases that have beenm frequently raised in the last two years regarding LGBTI+. With this publication, we also aimed to help the lawyers, who take the legal agendas of LGBTI+ individuals in 2019 and 2020 with a rights-based perspective, to make a trace in history. Therefore, this publication, which is set out with a different purpose than the conventional legal publications, aims to address not only lawyers, but also LGBTI+ subjects and rights defenders.
Unfortunately, the legal agenda of LGBTI+ individuals is not limited to the topics covered in this publication; like any other, this review has its own limits. The human rights of LGBTI+ individuals are not always on the agenda. As a matter of fact, besides LGBTI+ individuals being among the groups most frequently subjected to rights violations, LGBTI+ people face many difficulties in accessing justice in their applications regarding these violations. Regrettably, the topics covered in this publication are only the tip of the iceberg.
We should thank all the authors for their contributions to this publication and their efforts in the field.
