Turkey promotes gender equality at high-profile conference as part of the stand4her initiative

Avon Turkey has taken part in a conference aimed at breaking down gender inequality called “Put an end to violence”.

A select panel of speakers were invited to share their views about the issue of gender equality. Hande Orhan, Communications Director for Avon Turkey, showcased the company’s partnership with local women’s football team Beşiktaş and sponsorship of team captain Jessica O’Rourke.

Female role models were invited to share their personal stories of achievement in fields which are typically more male dominated and Jessica also took to the stage to talk about her sponsorship with Avon, her love of football and her excitement about Avon’s recently-launched stand4her campaign. Jessica shared her belief that there is nothing a woman cannot achieve – something she believes is strongly mirrored in Avon’s mission to bring opportunity, freedom and flexibility to women across the world.

Avon launched the stand4her programme in response to research that highlighted some of the challenges and opportunities facing women today. Through stand4her, Avon is committed to improving the world by advancing women’s earning potential through the power of beauty, and supporting their ability to live a safe and healthy life.
