Turkey Expands Crackdown on LGBTQ Groups Under 'My Family Is Safe' Campaign
Turkey has intensified a crackdown on LGBTQ groups under the 'My Family Is Safe' campaign, part of President Erdogan's initiative to promote traditional family values amid declining birth rates. Authorities have conducted raids, detained dozens, and investigated 162 suspects across multiple provinces, citing allegations such as obscenity and threats to public order. The government has also blocked LGBTQ-related websites and social media accounts. Rights groups criticize the campaign as suppressing LGBTQ rights and civil society, while same-sex marriage remains unrecognized in Turkey.
