About us

Media and Migration Association (MMA) is a civil society organization committed to fostering an objective, pluralist, inclusive, and right-based media perspective on migration in Turkey.

Since its establishment in 2020, MMA has been actively conducting media monitoring research to tackle disinformation and hate speech targeting refugee and migrant communities in the country. Our main goal is to provide informative media content and empower the right-based representation of refugees and migrants in Turkey's media landscape. In pursuit of this goal, MMA also develops awareness and advocacy campaigns, training series, and inter-disciplinary collaborations with various stakeholders in the field of media and migration.
