Tรผrkiye has experienced sustained pressure on democratic institutions, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms in recent years. Increasing restrictions on civil and political rights, pressure on independent media, limitations on public participation, and the use of legal and administrative measures against activists and civil society organisations have contributed to a shrinking civic space.
Against this backdrop, the event organised by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee and PEN Norway, will bring together perspectives from Tรผrkiye and Norway to discuss the current state of democracy and human rights in Tรผrkiye, as well as the challenges facing civil society organisations working to defend fundamental rights.
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง will focus recent developments affecting democracy, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms in Tรผrkiye, including restrictions on dissent, public participation and independent institutions, as well as Tรผrkiyeโs international human rights obligations.
๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง will focus on the challenges facing civil society, with perspectives from environmental, womenโs rights and LGBTIQ+ rights organisations on pressures on civic space, as well as resilience, solidarity and opportunities for engagement. The event will conclude with a conversation on Norwayโs approach to developments in Tรผrkiye and its role in supporting human rights, democratic governance and civil society.
To explore these topics, we invited NHCโs partner organisations from Tรผrkiye working on environmental rights, womenโs rights, and LGBTIQ+ rights: Armaล Foundation, Uรงan Sรผpรผrge (Flying Broom) Womenโs Communication and Research Association and University Queer Research and LGBTI+ Solidarity Association (Unikuir).
