Invitation to the Third International Anti-Homophobia Meeting
Third International Anti-Homophobia Meeting
Ankara, Turkey
May 12-19, 2008.
As Kaos GL Association, we are organizing the Third International Anti-Homophobia Meeting which will take place in Ankara on May 12-19, 2008.
The Meeting will incorporate various activities such as conference presentations, workshops, and forums, in which local and international presenters and audience members will participate.
In last year’s Meeting, homophobic attitudes, behaviors, and discrimination encountered in social, political, cultural, and academic domains were examined by experts, artists, academics, politicians, and journalists. The main topic of the International Anti-Homophobia Meeting was “Media And Homophobia” in May 2007.
For the past ten years, we have organized various social, cultural and academic activities and events for the improvement of the rights of gay and lesbian individuals and for the prevention of discrimination. We had organized a symposium entitled “Problems of Lesbians and Gays and Search for Solutions towards Social Peace” in May 2003. The first one of our International Anti-Homophobia Meeting took place on May 17-21, 2006.
It is our honor to invite you to the Third International Anti-Homophobia Meeting. We are planning to focus on the area of “Human Rights and Discirimination” in our upcoming Meeting in May 2008. We are going to organise some panels and forums at university campuses and we wish to see you in Ankara for the panel called “International Mechanism and Human Rights Process in Turkey” which will be held in Cebeci Campus of Ankara University on May 14, 2008. It would be pleasure to listen your speech at this panel. The other speakers are Kursad Kahramanoglu(as the moderator), Former General Secretary of International Lesbian and Gay Association and Prof. Dr. Yakin Erturk, UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against.
We had invited some of the members of European Parlaiment for our meetings before and Michael Cashman had participated to the symposium entitled “Problems of Lesbians and Gays and Search for Solutions towards Social Peace” in May 2003. We invited him again to our meeting for the panel called “Human Rights Issue during the process of EU” and we are happy to say that he accepted to participate as a speaker at this panel. It is extremely important to have the opportunity to listen your speech in this meeting. If you accept our invitation, we will be so pleased to host you in Ankara.

It is our belief that the Third International Anti-Homophobia Meeting will be a significant step towards eliminating discrimination in society, especially during the process of Turkey’s EU membership.
