Ever since our founding as Women for Women’s Human Rights(WWHR) we have launched and/or undertaken the coordination of many national campaigns. Further information on these campaigns is available at our page on Milestones. In addition to these national campaigns we started and/or ran as the secretariat, we also support in various ways the many campaigns organized by women’s and LGBTI+ movements/organizations in Turkey as well as internationally.
