TurkishWIN Updates: September 2022

🤍 Give Back

We have run a wonderful campaign in partnership with Askıda Ne Var and Kampüste Ne Var to engage university youth for our give-back programs- CampusWIN, BinYaprak, and Million Women Mentors. We are now working with our knowledge partner, Xsights Research, and Kampüste Ne Var to conduct research and fieldwork to hold the pulse and understand the perceptions of university youth regarding gender equality. Stay tuned! We are grateful for our giveback partnerships. Thank you Xsights Research. Thank you Kampüste Ne Var.
