Improving Outcomes for Women

For Ekin Su Yilmaz from Turkey, joining UN Women as a UN Youth Volunteer was her life-long dream. UN Women in Turkey works closely with the Government and civil society to focus on initiatives in leadership and political participation, ending violence against women and girls, and peace, security and engendering humanitarian action.

As an integral part of the UN Women country team, Ekin contributes to the empowerment of women and girls in Turkey, including women with disabilities, refugee women and girls under temporary protection and their advocacy networks.
