Dozens of people have been arrested as part of the "My Family is Safe" campaign, which the Turkish government claims is aimed at protecting family values.

Human rights groups and members of the opposition have accused the government of using this campaign to target the LGBTQ+ community. Same-sex relations are not a crime in Turkey, but homosexuality is widespread, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described LGBTQ+ people as "perverts" and responsible for the declining birth rate.
