In Türkiye, in line with its global and , and the overall UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for Türkiye , UN Women works in four thematic areas: (i) governance and participation in public life; (ii) women’s economic empowerment; (iii) ending violence against women and girls; and (iv) women, peace and security, humanitarian action and disaster risk reduction. UN Women contributes to three UNSDCF outcomes: 1) Women and girls have improved and equal access to resources, opportunities, and rights, and enjoy a life without violence and discrimination; 2) By 2025, Persons under the Law on Foreigners and International Protection are supported towards self-reliance. 3) By 2025, governance systems are more transparent, accountable, inclusive, and rights-based with the participation of civil society, and quality of judicial services is improved. Towards these goals, UN Women Türkiye has actively been implementing programmes and projects since 2012 that aim to advance gender equality, improve women’s access to opportunities, rights and services in political, social, and economic life and combat gender stereotypes, discrimination, and violence, as required by international and national legal and policy commitments. In focuses on initiatives in 1) Women’s leadership and political participation 2) Ending violence against women and girls 3) Strong civic space for gender equality 4) Gender-responsive planning and budgeting 5) Private sector partnerships and male engagement and 6) UN System coordination. UN Women Türkiye collaborates with numerous partners – central and local level government authorities, civil society organizations, including women’s organizations and platforms, opinion-makers and activists from different sectors, academia, private sector companies, media, development partners and other UN agencies. It commits itself to the Leaving No One Behind principle, by supporting targeted actions to remove the obstacles that marginalized and vulnerable groups of women face in accessing their rights and to promote them as agents of change.
Under this framework, UN Women Türkiye will implement “Reimagining Gender Equality Across Generations and Communities" (Short name: Reimagining A More Equal Future) project, funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project aims to reduce gender inequalities by enhancing the ability of civic groups and young women to be agents of transformative change towards gender equality and women’s rights.
Under this project, UN Women Türkiye is will work with local level civic groups, grassroots initiatives, young people, especially young women, and civil society organizations as knowledge partners, responsible parties, and advocates to promote and raise awareness on gender equality at grassroots level in various localities/municipalities to be identified. The intervention will have a strong empowerment angle specifically targeting local level civic groups and young women and an advocacy component to be implemented particularly at the local level. The project also seeks to foster the intergenerational dialogue among young women and experienced current leaders of the women’s movement in Türkiye in a way to address the issue of further involvement of young women in civic activism and to learn from young women to integrate alternative advocacy approaches and strategies to appeal to a wider and a younger audience on gender equality. Finally, the project will seek active engagement of young men in partnership with young women for gender equality and ending gender-based discrimination and violence and to explore and challenge predominant notions of masculinities. The project expected to start in January 2024 will have an implementation period of 3 years.
