More and better jobs for women: women’s empowerment through decent work in Turkey

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to women’s empowerment in Turkey through increasing their access to decent work opportunities and enhancing awareness on women’s human rights and rights at work.The project helps in integrating gender sensitive approaches into active labour market policies and in identifying those occupations where there are more decent employment opportunities for women to be employed in the project provinces. The project is expected to serve as a model for other provinces in advancing gender equality in employment and providing decent employment opportunities for women. The project is implemented by the ILO Office for Turkey, along with Turkish Employment Agency (ISKUR).
