United Nations Joint Programme to Protect and Promote the Human Rights of Women and Girls in Turkey is supported by all UN agencies operating in Turkey, in addition to several partners and bilateral donor countries.
A major contribution is provided by Hacı Ömer Sabancı Foundation. Originally Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom supported the UNJP. Recently France has provided financial support for the programme.
