As EkoDoku Sustainable Living Cooperative, we continue our advocacy and awareness raising activities related to the Sustainable Development Goals, which we have adopted as a principle, with solidarity and cooperation steps with women's cooperatives.
The Sustainable Development Goals, set by the member states of the United Nations to be achieved by 2030 in order to protect planet Earth and ensure that all people live in peace and prosperity, envisage transformations in the functioning of the environment, economy and social life in order to end poverty, combat inequality and injustice, and mitigate climate change.
In this transformation, cooperatives stand out as pluralistic and voluntary organizations that provide solutions to social and economic problems.
Women's cooperatives are dynamic and effective tools for the interplay of development goals, especially poverty alleviation, women's and girls' empowerment and gender equality.
As EkoDoku Sustainable Living Cooperative, we took a step for solidarity and cooperation to strengthen women's cooperatives in Ankara.
We participated in the "Women's Cooperatives 4th Regional Meetings" organized by KEDV and Simurg Women's Cooperatives Union to support networking, resource and business development processes among women's cooperatives.
We are happy to be in this formation and to contribute to it.
We are hopeful for all women, for our planet and for future generations that women's cooperatives will grow in solidarity and become stronger structures.
