We’re excited to welcome Cinsel Şiddetle Mücadele Derneği (CSMD – Association for Struggle Against Sexual Violence) in Turkey as a member of the Coalition for Sexual and Bodily Rights in Muslim Societies!

Association for Struggle Against Sexual Violence (CŞMD); was established officially in 2014 in Istanbul by the activists in order for the issue of sexual violence in Turkey to be addressed as a matter of concern by an inclusive, intersectional and empowering approach despite the polarized gender binary system in Turkey.

The Association conducts preventive, supportive and awareness-raising activities besides its advocacy studies with a queer feminist perspective in order to make the sexual violence more visible, addressable and debatable; in order to bring the invisible forms of sexual violence to the agenda and to struggle against all forms of sexual violence without establishing any hierarchy among them.
