Trans Woman Finds Shelter Amid Crackdown - Turkey

Trans woman Helin spends time at her home on Bornova Street in the Alsancak neighborhood of Izmir, Turkey, on July 27, 2025. Bornova Street, located in the Konak district, is known as a densely inhabited area for transgender individuals, many of whom face mounting hostility amid an increasingly repressive climate for LGBTQ+ communities in Turkey. Residents report frequent harassment and violence, including raids and intimidation by both civilians and police. In a recent crackdown, authorities issued sealing orders for 14 apartments on the street, officially citing the fight against prostitution. However, activists argue that the move reflects a broader pattern of discrimination and systematic pressure, particularly during what the government has labeled the “Year of the Family.” In this atmosphere of fear and marginalization, trans women like Helin strive to maintain daily life and dignity within a community targeted by both social stigma and institutional hostility.

Settlers Attack Peace Activists in West Bank

Settlers set fire to a vehicle belonging to Israeli peace activists who stand in solidarity with the Palestinians and are staying in their homes in the Susya area of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, on July 31, 2025. The incident escalates as the settlers attempt to set fire to the activists’ house after shattering windows and igniting flames near the entrance. The attack takes place in the context of ongoing tensions in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian communities and their allies face increasing violence from Israeli settlers. Activists living in solidarity with Palestinians in Masafer Yatta aim to resist eviction orders and settler expansion in the area, which has been under threat from demolition and military presence. The arson attack is part of a broader pattern of intimidation and violence in disputed territories of the southern Hebron Hills. Photo by Mosab Shawer/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
