| dc.description.abstract | Since 2010, the increasingly authoritarian political climate in Türkiye has led to systematic human rights violations and further exclusion of queer individuals from the public sphere. This tendency intensified particularly after the 2013 Gezi Protests, resulting in a visible increase in queer migration from the country. However, the increasing migration to Germany cannot solve the structural and social challenges faced by Türkiyeli queer individuals, even though their numbers have risen, as the complex and multilayered conditions of the migration context continue to persist. In this framework, this research examines the migration trajectories of queer individuals who have relocated from Türkiye to Berlin, with a particular focus on the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the process of social integration. Based on the intersectionality approach and the theory of social integration, this research explores how intersecting identity axes shape the experiences of queer migrants. Through qualitative research and semi-structured interviews, the research offers an empirical analysis of how NGOs contribute to the integration of Türkiyeli queer migrants in Berlin. The findings indicate that the fragility of NGO institutional structures, the broader political environment, and the migrants’ dependency on social service professionals emerge as key factors influencing integration processes. In conclusion, this research highlights both the facilitating and limiting dimensions of NGO involvement. It reveals how civil society actors, despite their limitations, can serve as vital intermediaries in the resettlement and sense of belonging of migrants. | |
