The Association for Monitoring Equal Rights - AMER) (Eşit Haklar İçin İzleme Derneği - ESHİD) was established in October 2010 to monitor and combat discrimination in society, to enable equal rights for each person belonging to disadvantaged groups. AMER carries out all its monitoring and reporting activities in consultation and partnership with national and grassroots civil society organizations (CSOs) which work with various disadvantaged groups including women, persons with disabilities, different ethnic and religious minority groups in different parts of Turkey. AMER has been observing every election since 2011 in terms of equal access of disadvantaged groups within society, as well as reporting discrimination with regards to the enjoyment of human rights. Since 2016, AMER has been working on access to justice for persons with disabilities in Turkey. In this respect, the General Comments of the Committee on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities, the Guidelines to Individual Communications to the Committee and relevant international court decisions have been translated to Turkish for the first time. Legal aid, legal support, including trial monitoring has been provided to persons with disabilities through the Legal Aid Hotline. The International Conference on Disability Rights has been organized in December 2018. Prior to this report, AMER has submitted an Alternative Country Report on Turkey for the 88th CERD Meeting in 2015, a list of issues to the 10th Pre-Session of the CRPD in August 2018. www.esithaklar.org e-mail: esithaklar@gmail.com Phone: +90 212 293 63 77 2
