The Purple Truck, filled with a campaign organized by the Feminist Solidarity for Disaster group, in order to meet the requirements of the women, children and LGBT+ people in İstanbul, reached Adıyaman today (February 24).
The group identified what the women in the earthquake-hit areas need by talking to them directly and prepared lists. Aid materials were collected in Beyoğlu, Kadıköy and Bakırköy in İstanbul according to these lists.
The Purple Truck was loaded with the participation of volunteers and took off from İstanbul. The team that went to Adıyaman with the truck divided into smaller groups here and went to each neighborhood. They visited the tents one by one and distributed the underwear, sanitary pads, diapers, baby food, winter coats, slippers and hygiene materials in the truck.
The feminist group is collecting aid materials for Hatay now after those they took to Adıyaman with the first Purple Truck. They have made a new call to collect the materials they will be taking to Hatay.
The list prepared for Hatay is as follows:
Women's underwear
Long underwear
Sanitary pads
Socks
Slippers (plastic)
Shampoo
Laundry detergent (for hand washing)
Toothbrush
