The event will also reaffirm UN Women's plans to ensure invested stakeholders' continued leadership and engagement (particularly civil society, youth, and adolescent girls) throughout the implementation phase. The event will be also an opportunity to reflect, from experience on the ground, the challenges and opportunities to secure bold and accelerated progress towards achieving gender equality. In line with the Secretary-General's Common Agenda commitment to strengthen and accelerate multilateral agreements, the discussion will also provide valuable insights to ensure Generation Equality's 5-year journey becomes a critical catalyst towards fulfilling the promises of SDG-5 and the overall 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

These individuals form over 47 percent of our total population of over 200 million. This has reduced the expected development of the Country and calls for immediate action. The need to create forums to engage, discuss and involve youths to evolve a new movement of self-employment, self-definition, Entrepreneurial skill development, and ICT. This will help in reducing the current tensions, unemployment, and joblessness. This will be discussed during our 24 hours around the clock Generation Equality at CSW66 event. Our youths should be inspired to develop fashion designing, modelling, ICT skills and engage in competitions, trade, and hackathons. Thus, we will shortly grow this program to become a Center for Youths development and leadership.

That’s why we develop projects and hold events aimed at empowering women. One of them is My Sister Project. My Sister Project, carried out in partnership with the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, Habitat Association and Coca-Cola Turkey, to strengthen women's social and economic positions by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills for their participation in economic life and to take an active role in economic development, played an important role in eliminating this inequality. In 2015-2021, it has reached 70,000 women through face-to-face and online training on the My Sister Project in 81 provinces, and 3,590 teachers and 359,000 students with the cooperation of the Teacher Academy Foundation, with the trainings of Tomorrow My Sister. In addition, the project reached 1,700 women with a mobile training truck in the provinces. On the other hand, within the project's scope, 41 women were provided with 1.040.000 Turkish Liras value of grant support, and they were supported to establish and/or develop their own businesses. Success stories from here are documented and published in Exxen. In addition to these, awareness-raising communication campaigns are also carried out. One of them is "What Does It Need?" Unfortunately, many women who want to enter business hear this word. As the project stakeholders, we believe that there is a need for women to touch business life, for women to gain financial freedom and for success stories to increase. That's why, with the “My Sister” project, we support women entrepreneurs with grants and trainings. Because it is so needed!
