    1. Hi Eli, we do not have an address because we are an online project and don’t have an office. You can try contacting Kaos GL in Ankara or Lambdaistanbul in Istanbul. You can also talk to IRQO in Canada for guidance.

  2. Hi there.
    I am working for an international company and we have two branches in Turkey. Being responsible for several people (I am not Turkish but in Turkey 8-10 times a year). One of my colleagues is going to be promoted, unfortunately another colleague of her found out, that she’s HIV positive (I already knew it because she told me when we have talked about the promotion and she also told me that she is under the detection limit) and gave these info to the country management in Turkey. They struggle with the promotion and think about absurd things (like forcing all employees to do a blood test by a doctor who comes to the company). They have already spoken to the company doc and he recommended that this person should leave the company (WTF!). In Germany we don’t fire people just because they are HIV positive and we don’t refuse to promote them. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any information what the rights of an HIV positive person regarding work. I know that the stigmatization of HIV positive people is enormously high. It would be great if you could provide any information or an link, where I can find information. I am sorry, I don’t speak Turkish, so information in English would be very helpful. Thank you so much.
