United Nations Joint Programme to Protect and Promote the Human Rights of Women and Girls in Turkey is supported by all UN agencies operating in Turkey, in addition to several partners and bilateral donor countries.
A major contribution is provided by Hacı Ömer Sabancı Foundation (VAKSA). Originally Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom supported the UNJP. Recently, Finland and Germany have provided financial support for the programme. Even a small contribution can make a big difference as the total of the contributions is always larger than the individual donations.
Ministry of Interior, Governor’s Offices and Municipalities of İzmir, Kars, Nevşehir, Şanlıurfa, Trabzon and Van are also programme partners.
