Safety and security concerns reported at Turkish student dormitories

Reports have emerged regarding safety and security issues at female student dormitories in Turkey. In Izmir, a female student at the Bornova KYK Dormitory within the Ege University campus was seriously injured after reportedly falling from the ninth floor. The student sustained head trauma and a broken arm, though no official statement has been released by the dormitory management or the university rectorate.

In Istanbul, students at the İyimaya Kız KYK Dormitory in Sancaktepe have raised alarms regarding harassment. Students allege that groups of men have been harassing them outside the facility, including an incident on November 1 where a group of men reportedly shouted insults and made inappropriate gestures from a vehicle. Students claimed that both private security and police failed to provide adequate protection or deterrent measures against these disturbances.
