April - November 2023 

Poverty, which was already on the agenda due to the economic crisis and the pandemic, has deepened and spread across the country with the February 6 Earthquake. Concerned about the danger of ignoring a rights-based and multidimensional approach in the fight against deepening poverty, which has been on the agenda of policymakers especially during the election process as the housing crisis and deficiencies in disaster management became more evident after the earthquake, the Deep Poverty Network continues to carry out advocacy and lobbying activities in the relationship between disaster and poverty based on its own experience.

The present study includes recommendations in this context and made within the framework of a parliamentary monitoring study conducted within the scope of “Recommendations for Policies
to Combat Disaster and Poverty during
the Economic Crisis Period and after the February 6 Earthquake” with the support
of Heinrich Böll Stiftung Turkey.
