Women for Women's Human Rights (WWHR)

Women for Women's Human Rights (WWHR) is an independent women's non-governmental organisation (NGO) founded in 1993, and aims to promote women's human rights, equality and non-discrimination in Turkey and worldwide. WWHR works for the realisation of women's human rights, supports the active and broad participation of women in all spheres of life as free individuals and equal citizens, and strives for the establishment and maintenance of a democratic, egalitarian and peaceful social order at the national, regional and international levels. WWHR aims to promote sustainable social change and transformation to achieve gender equality and the fulfilment of women's human rights. Collaborating with women's and LGBTIQ organisations with similar objectives since its foundation, WWHR combines various methods and tools in its efforts, such as action-research, publications, training, networking, monitoring, reporting, and influencing decision-making and policy development mechanisms through advocacy.
