Hello, my name is İdil and I am the coordinator of the women’s rights team at GHRD. I lead my team to advocate and promote women’s rights by shedding light on violations and attacks as well as developments in various fields, and thus conduct research along with recommendations for a gender-equal world.

Our Vision

Our vision is to grant a world where the rights of all minorities and marginalized groups are respected and upheld in accordance with national and international laws, treaties and agreements.

Our Mission

Our mission is to actively promote and protect human rights of minorities and marginalized groups in order to enhance their socio-economic status. This is done through an international platform of empowerment via education, advocacy, and lobbying to demand more effort from established organizations, institutions, media, and relevant authorities.We strive for the fulfillment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Declaration on Rights of Minorities (1992).
