Who is We Play Equal?

We Play Equal is a project that aims to educate adolescents on gender equity through train the trainer workshops by using the social transformative power of sports to fight against prevention of sexual and gender-based violence.

What is our aim?

We Play Equal  was established to fight against gender-based violence and gender inequality by using the social transformative power of sports. Improving gender equality is not about changing gender-based statistics, but rather about changing the behavioural norm of communities about how they perceive gender justice. The ultimate goal of our project is to combat domestic violence and sexual assault against women and to contribute to gender equality by raising awareness and inspiring cultural change.

We aim to use sports as a tool for this goal that we hope to achieve by educating both genders together. Starting with young people, we aim to break stereotypical gender judgments in our project by providing equal conditions for both genders in the field of sports and by training sports coaches on how to change the discriminatory behavior of adolescents. We have prepared an educational booklet in Turkish that addresses gender equity through sports, which is downloadable below.
