Our Approach

As the Sabancı Foundation, we support the empowerment of women and girls and their equal access to opportunities in all areas of life. We work to develop lasting solutions—from ensuring equal access to education to transforming social norms.

Preventing Early and Forced Marriages

We support various projects to prevent child, early, and forced marriages, and collaborate with civil society organizations working in this field. Our efforts aim to raise awareness and strengthen protective mechanisms, particularly in high-risk regions.

Improving Access to Educational Opportunities for Girls and Young Women

Improving access to education for women and girls and ensuring their continued learning are among our top priorities.

Participating of Women in Social and Economic Life

Through our projects that support women’s active participation in social and economic life, we aim not only to help them realize their potential, but also to make their challenges and needs visible and to develop mechanisms for solutions.

Transformation of Social Norms

We aim to support the building of an equal society by promoting programs that transform entrenched social norms — one of the key barriers to gender equality.
