action_plan:

In order to ensure sustainability of the progress and to support further steps for gender equality in the context of decent work in Turkey, the second phase of the project is being developed with the financial support of SIDA. In line with the recommendation, the second phase is built upon the lesson learnt and successful outcomes of the current project, such as supporting implementation and monitoring of national Action Plan on Women’s Employment. In addition to İŞKUR, the new proposal foresees mobilization of the other actors, such as trade unions and private sectors, in order to support efforts for improving conditions of women at the workplace with special focus on gender pay gap, gender based violence at work places, reconciling work-life balance and women’s leadership. Moreover, it is planned to organize a comprehensive training for “Gender Equality Commission” of İŞKUR which will be decision making body for gender mainstreaming works at İŞKUR in next period. Since advocacy for gender equality in the world of work is crucial to initiate changing minds, awareness raising of the constituents is given special attention. In this regard, a conference will be organized on prevention of violence and harassment against women and men in 2018.

title:

ILO and its partners should continue its support to gender equality in the context of its decent work agenda in Turkey. Despite the noted progress made towards the long-term goal of inclusion of women into the labour market and decent work for all in Turkey, a lot remains to be done in this regard. ILO Ankara with its key partners İŞKUR and the relevant Ministry, are uniquely well positioned to champion the work on gender equality in the world of work in Turkey. To this end, the project under review has laid valuable foundations that should be built upon. Without further external support many of the achievements made to date are not likely to last or contribute to further and more significant changes. ILO should therefore explore how it might be able to provide continued support to national actors and ensure that relevant spaces for continued advocacy; and design & implementation of policies on gender equality remain open. This may require further advocacy efforts with high-level governance and decision-making actors.
