Independent (Cavidan Soykan)

I am an independent academic based in Izmir/Turkey. I work on human rights, in particular on forced migration. I have a PhD in Sociology from the University of Essex in the UK. I am an active member of human rights civil society in Turkey since 2008. I worked as an academic at a public university until 2017. Since then I have been conducting fieldworks and writing reports for NGOs working in different areas such as gender equality, migrant women, disability rights and rare chronic diseases/insivible disabilities.
