Who we are
We are an Izmir-based civil society organization working to support women’s equal and sustainable participation in economic life.
For More Equal Opportunities and Stronger Women
KEP is a civil society organization founded in Izmir in 2020, working to support women’s equal and sustainable participation in economic life.
We learn, create, and work together with women from diverse backgrounds towards a more equitable future.
We believe that women can realize their full potential when they have equal access to knowledge, skills, economic opportunities, and their rights.
Our Areas of Work
We work across three interconnected areas.
Economic Participation and Sustainable Income
We expand opportunities for women to turn their skills into sustainable sources of income.
Women’s Labor and
Rights
We work to ensure that women’s labor is visible, fairly valued, and fairly compensated.
Safe Spaces and
Solidarity
We create spaces where women come together, share experiences, and learn from one another.
