Istanbul Kultur University has become a signatory to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), an initiative established by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the United Nations Global Compact (UN Global Compact).

The Women’s Empowerment Principles consist of seven core principles designed to promote gender equality, empower women in education, employment, and decision-making processes, and guide institutions in developing policies and practices in line with these objectives. These principles encourage organizations to adopt perspectives of equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability within their corporate governance approaches.

Through its participation in the WEPs, Istanbul Kultur University aims to integrate gender equality into its institutional policies and practices, strengthen egalitarian approaches in academic and administrative processes, and carry out its efforts in this field within a systematic framework.

This participation contributes to IKU’s initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and stands out as a significant indicator of the University’s vision to be an equitable, inclusive institution acting with a strong sense of social responsibility.
