Measure What Counts

Advocacy

We drive change where it counts:
at the intersection of data, dialogue, and systems.
Our advocacy work sheds light on the barriers holding women back and the solutions
that can move them forward in the workplace.

The Research: Women & Employment

We Measure What Counts

Since 2017, we have co-led the annual Women and Employment Research in partnership with XSIGHTS Research & Consultancy.

This time-series survey is one of Türkiye’s most comprehensive analyses of societal perceptions on women’s employment, covering:

  • Gender-based myths and cultural narratives
  • Attitudes toward parental leave and caregiving roles
  • Support for flexible work arrangements
  • Policy recommendations for inclusive labor practices
The Women and Employment Research Series is more than a study—it is a strategic tool for:

POLICYMAKERS

to craft legislation that promotes gender equity

EMPLOYERS

to foster inclusive, flexible and future-ready workplaces

ADVOCATES

to spark public discourse and challenge limiting narratives

We believe data has the power to challenge the status quo.
Read the report and spark a conversation.

Community of Practice for the Private Sector

We Build What’s Next—Together

The Women Leadership Platform (Kadın Liderlik Platformu or KLP) is where Türkiye’s private sector changemakers come together to rise.

Co-led with KAGİDER, KLP is a community of practice that brings corporate leaders into a learning and development circle focused on advancing gender equity at work.

We share real-world experiences, best practices, and bold ideas that move the needle on diversity and inclusion, especially when it comes to empowering women in decision-making roles. Together, we focus on:

  • Elevating women to senior leadership and board positions
  • Supporting work-life balance policies that benefit both women and business
  • Increasing women’s participation in male-dominated sectors
  • Engaging men as gender equality allies
  • Empowering women through times of crisis and recovery

WLD (Kadın Liderlik Platformu) also acts as an ecosystem builder—connecting organizations ready to learn from each other and co-create change. We gather four times a year, in partnership with our Action Partner TÜSİAD, to listen, share, and lead forward—together.
