Turkish Social Solidarity Center women's programs

Overview

Social Solidarity Centers (SODAM) in Turkey are implementing various initiatives to support women through education and vocational training.

In Edirne, the center launched a new term under the theme ‘One Woman, A Thousand Hopes,’ focusing on manual skills, personal development, and economic participation. Officials noted the program aims to help women contribute to family budgets and strengthen community solidarity.

In Kırklareli, SODAM has focused on literacy programs since 2014. The center reports that its efforts have helped 478 disadvantaged women achieve literacy, raising the literacy rate among participants from 35 percent at its founding to approximately 95 percent. The inclusion of an on-site nursery has been cited as a key factor in increasing participation among mothers.
