The Importance of Equal Opportunity in Education

Imagine there are equal opportunities for all genders in life.
Imagine there is equal decision-making power for everybody.
Imagine that every child has the right to an education.

We don’t just imagine. We do it.

If a woman changes, a family changes. If a family changes, then society changes. By ensuring equal opportunities in education, we can bridge the gap in gender inequality between all genders. We can create a better world for our children by raising more educated individuals.

BTF believes in the power of investing in education and building futures for underserved women and girls in Turkey.”

Providing equality of opportunity for all genders, valuing our girls as they deserve, and endowing all their efforts and endeavors should be the mission of all humans. Join us on our cause in celebrating March 8. Support girls’ education by donating to BTF Empowerment Scholarships:

BTF provides life-changing opportunities for underprivileged students in Turkey through the gift of an education.

BTF established a bridge between donors around the world and trusted partners in Turkey, benefiting socio-economically disadvantaged students. BTF works with many partners to provide scholarships, university, and high school alumni associations, foundations, and platforms.
Once again, we thank our donors for their support, generosity, and most importantly, for believing in the advancement of women and helping change the world, one educated girl at a time!

Help us to make this International Women’s Day one to remember!

This year’s International Women’s Day campaign theme is #breakthebias.

Make a donation to empower girls and send us a photo to contribute BTF #breakthebias album!

Turkish Women League of America Gender Equality Meeting in New York

Imagine a gender equal world.
A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Together we can forge women’s equality.

Collectively, we can all #BreakTheBias.
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own actions — all day, every day.

We can break the bias in our communities.
We can break the bias in our workplaces.
We can break the bias in our schools, colleges, and universities.

Together, we can break the bias on International Women’s Day (IWD) and beyond.
