Equality bodies

There is no equality body in Turkey. Victims of discrimination can to apply to human rights boards which are established in every province and districts and Human Rights Inquiry Commission of Turkish Grand National Assembly. Both the boards and the commission have the competence to inquire complaints of discrimination in employment. The Human Rights Presidency, Human Rights Boards and Human Rights Inquiry Commission of Turkish Grand National Assembly can give a decision that describes the situation as a violation or non-violation of the right to equal treatment and these decisions are not enforceable and are not legally binding.
