Get informed :

If you’re looking for accurate, youth-friendly information about sexual and reproductive health in Turkey, there are a number of places, organizations and individuals which can help:

Someone like you - the Y-PEER network

Youth Peers (Y-PEER) are motivated young people who have been trained to be able to help others of a similar age and background get the facts, understanding, attitudes and skills they need to be responsible for and to protect their health and well being.

One of the advantages of the Y-PEER scheme is that it’s flexible: you can chat one-to-one -- or in a larger group. And you meet in almost any location: a university, a club, a café -- even in the street.
