Election Campaign by SPoD: We are not counting on you, we are watching you!

Social Policy, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Studies Association (SPoD) announced its campaign titled "Without Leaving Anyone Behind!" for the presidential and parliamentary elections.

With the "Without Leaving Anyone Behind" campaign, SPoD will work to ensure that political parties include policies on LGBTI+ rights in their election programs and declarations and that LGBTI+s are not forgotten during the election process. The campaign announcement reads as follows: 

We call out to political parties, tables and alliances: We are not relying on you, we are watching you! 

We, who you fear to name as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and many others, are going to the ballot box. This time, as we have done so far, we will watch everything you do or don't do, say or don't say for us and make our decision. No matter who wins the election, the day after the election we will continue to demand our rights in our strongest form. We will fight not only for our rights, but for the rights of everyone whose rights have been usurped.

Throughout the election process, we will increase our efforts to ensure that LGBTI+ individuals can go to the ballot box with confidence and that democratic political spaces are protected. We will examine the discourses of all political parties participating in the elections on all social groups, especially LGBTI+ persons, and evaluate their election manifestos.

We declare again and again and again that during this election process, we will continue our struggle without leaving anyone behind, without relying on anyone, but at the same time without despairing.
