Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

HeForShe is the global movement initiated by UN Women inviting men and people of all genders to stand in solidarity with the women to create a bold, visible, and united force for gender equality. Since its launch in 2015, the movement has now more than 1.3 billion men and women declaring their support from gender equality across the world. HeForShe aims to enable men to identify with the issues of gender equality and to recognize the crucial role that they can play to end the global inequality faced by women and girls, both in their own lives, and at more structural levels in their communities. The HeForShe campaign offers an innovative approach to achieving gender equality that recognizes men and boys as partners for women's rights and acknowledges the ways in which they also benefit from gender equality. For more information, visit http://www.heforshe.org/en.

In 2015, UN Women launched the HeForShe solidarity movement for gender equality in Turkey, with the participation of the government, private sector, civil society, academics and the media. In 2018, Fenerbahçe Sports Club joined forces with UN Women under the HeForShe movement to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in sports. As a result of this unique collaboration, Fenerbahçe aims to set an example globally by becoming an inclusive sports club with a culture of gender equality and pioneering a number of initiatives in the sports community through the “Equal Together” movement until the end of 2019.

HeForShe is an important tool for engaging men and boys in gender equality and UN Women in Turkey considers male engagement as a cross cutting topic under all of the programmatic areas such as Refugee Response, Elimination of Child, Earl and Forced marriage and Elimination of Violence against Women.
