[TÜRKÇE ALT YAZI İLE] 25 yıl önce, Kahire'deki Uluslararası Nüfus ve Kalkınma Konferansı'nda 179 hükümet, kadınların ve kız çocuklarının sağlığını ve haklarını güvence altına almayı ve güçlenmelerini teşvik etmeyi amaçlayan vizyoner bir eylem programına imza attı.

UNFPA is using this year’s World Population Day (11 July) as an opportunity to raise awareness about how choices and opportunities have changed for girls and women since the groundbreaking International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) that took place in Cairo in 1994. Twenty-five years ago, world leaders promised to advance women’s health and rights. Have they delivered? To help answer that question, UNFPA has produced a status report on five ways the ICPD Programme of Action set out to change the world for women and girls.

1) Universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights as a part of universal health coverage,

2) Financing required to complete the ICPD Programme of Action,

3) Demographic diversity and sustainable development,

4) Ending gender-based violence and harmful practices,

5) Right to sexual and reproductive health care even in humanitarian and fragile contexts.

In this video, United Nations Population Fund, Humanitarian Aid Program, Regional Manager Duygu Arığ explains how Women and Girls Safe Spaces provide primary health care and psycho-social services to the Syrian women and girls who are under temporary protection here in Turkey. The Women and Girls Center in Fındıkzade, İstanbul is funded by European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), and run by the implementing partner the Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants (SGDD-ASAM). In the video, Syrian women beneficiaries also share their experiences regarding how they benefited from the services and from the Arabic speaking staff working at the center.

The event that was held on the occasion of 8 March International Women’s Day and hosted by İstanbul Bilgi University was financed by the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). In the event, Songül Öden, United Nations Population Fund Spokesperson, shared some scenes of Lal Hayal, her solo theatre play, with the spectators and conducted a discussion on violence towards women and gender equality with the audience. The discussion was presided over by Bora Özbek, UNFPA National Gender Based Violence Expert in Humanitarian Aid Programme. In her solo play Lal Hayal, Öden plays seven female characters.
