A Proud Announcement from YÜKAM

Destina Berfin Sever, our Gender Expert at the Yaşar University Women and Family Studies Application and Research Center, has been awarded the Young Volunteer Award within the scope of the Tülay Aktaş Unrequited Service Awards. Held for 29 years, these awards stand as one of the most meaningful symbols of solidarity and social benefit in Izmir. Sever was deemed worthy of this honor for her work titled “Gender Equality from a Rights-Based Approach: The Academia – Field Bridge.”

This award demonstrates once again how the rights-based approach we advocate for as YÜKAM can create a powerful impact at the intersection of academia and the field.

We wholeheartedly congratulate her and express our gratitude to all young volunteers who contribute with unwavering faith to the struggle for gender equality.
