The online survey conducted with 134 participants points to significant problems in areas such as security, housing, transportation, access to public services, and participation in local governance.

The majority of participants reported experiencing a high level of discrimination or constantly feeling at risk, and it appears that Bursa is not a sufficiently safe and livable city for LGBTI+ individuals. The report serves as an important advocacy and reference source for the development of inclusive urban policies by local governments and civil society.

The report has been prepared in Turkish.
