Our Business is Equality: Will You Play With Me?

Awen for Us Founder and Corporate Social Responsibility Project Consultant @dr.aylinlole asks in the June issue of Female Business:


Will you play with me?

Inequality is not just a problem for girls and women, it is a problem for men as well. Why do we say equality begins at home? Why is it our problem? As posed in one of the questions in @sdg4kids' @dunyaningelece "Future of the World" Game, "How is it possible for men and women to live equally and happily together?"

"Taylan Korkmaz is 11 years old. He loves not only painting but also drawing cartoons. He has his own cartoon characters. He loved Marvel and DC as a child, now his favorite is Kral Şakir.


Under the supervision of her teacher Melike Yakarer from Çamlıca Eyüpoğlu Secondary School, she discussed “The World and Its Problems” with her school friends Nesibe İpek, Efe, Maya, İlayda Su, Ayşe Naz, Neris, Pelin, Emir Utku, Eda Ceylan, Deniz, Asya and Ayşe Ege. His work was exhibited at the Mustafa Kemal Cultural Center of Beşiktaş Municipality as part of the Istanbul Child and Youth Art Biennial.
