ODTU LGBTI+ Dayanismasi (METU LGBTI+ Solidarity)

ODTU LGBTI+ Dayanismasi (METU LGBTI+ Solidarity) is a student solidarity group at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, active since 1996. It has organized campus Pride marches and queer solidarity events over the years. The group's 2019 campus Pride march was met with a police crackdown and the prosecution of nineteen students and one academic; all defendants were acquitted in 2021. As a campus-based collective it has no public office address and operates through student networks; it is included here as part of Ankara's LGBTQ+ landscape rather than as a visitor venue.
