General Information
lying Broom is a women’s organization working for the improvement of democracy and civil society. Flying Broom aims to enhance gender equality consciousness, provide information and training to empower women, and contribute to the development of efficient policies for solving women’s problems stemming from inequality.   O ur main objectives are to contribute to the advancement of the women’s movement, to assure gender equality, to develop new possibilities of communication and cooperation, and to create common fields of action among women’s organizations. Flying Broom, which has been working continuously since 1996 in line with these aims and objectives, is improving and strengthening its national and international networks year after year, consequently monitoring closely and evaluating Turkey's as well as global women’s agenda.   The organization effectively utalizes the media and all means of communication for increasing women’s visibility and creating sensitivity and awareness pertaining to gender equality within the society. Additionally, Flying Broom is working for the internalization of women’s rights and the streamlining of these rights in all decisions and implementations.
Mission and Objectives

he Vision of Flying Broom
Flying Broom aims at contributing to the overall gender equality in Turkey and the institutionalization of gender equality. Within this framework, Flying Broom:
• Tries to implement the gender equality norms and principles formulated at the Beijing Conference and other international conventions in every aspect of life.
• Supports newly established women’s organizations, believing that the empowerment of women’s organizations is the first step towards the empowerment of women.
The Mission of Flying Broom
Flying Broom primarily works in three main areas to achieve its aims:
• Networking
• Communication
• Capacity building / Empowerment

Main Projects / Activities

i) Awareness on Child Brides in Turkey: We have been working on this issue since 2006.
Child Brides and forced marriages are now on the agenda of policy-makers and other NGOs. We have published an information kit consisting of booklets on the Child Brides issue (legislative, social, media etc.) We established a national platform for the prevention of Child Marriages for effective lobbying. Two short-films, one Documentary and a number of spots were prepared. As a result,we now work with one of the biggest social responsibility foundations in Turkey for social projects. We are implementing a pilot project to create an effective mechanism pertaining to child brides to prevent these incidents.
ii)  International Flying Broom Women Films Festival:
Flying Broom International Women’s Film Festival has been organized every year since 1998 with the goal of using the narrative of cinema to raise public awareness about gender issues. Flying Broom Film Festival is Turkey’s first women's film festival.Since2003the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) awards one of the films screened in the 'Each Has a Different Color' section of the festival program. Flying Broom International Women's Film Festival is the only women's festival in the world to grant the FIPRESCI award. The festival is a platform for women directors, movie makers all over the world who emphasize gender quality and dwell on women's issues. We held different workshops and talks with our guests and provide a dialogue opportunity not only with people from the industry but also with the audience. This year around 650 films applied for screening. We showed more than 100 films. As women of the Flying Broom we are proud of being able to organize this festival with very limited staff and resources. Being a women’s festival organized by a women’s NGO, we always face difficulty in finding sponsors and logistical support for the festival.
iii) My Madam Curie Project 
Flying Broom Women's Communication and Research Association has launched a project for primary school students. A model study supported by European Union Central Finance and Contracts Unit and Ministry of National Education is being carried in schools picked by Ankara Provincial Directorate for National Education in the city's Pursaklar district.
"My Madame Curie" Project aims to steer young girls towards an education in the direction of their talents and dreams for when they are to make their career choices, instead of them succumbing to gender role influences. The members of Flying Broom state that women can work not merely as teachers, nurses, lawyers, but also in the fields of science and technology, and that in order for this to happen, obstacles of male dominance have to disappear.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Since its foundation in 1996 Flying Broom is working towards the strengthening of the women’s movement in Turkey through communication, networking and research. One of the most important objectives of Flying Broom has been  to enhance the dialog between women’s organizations.Over the last twenty years, the number of women’s organisations has increased and the communication among them has become an important issue. We would like to expand our previous experiences with other CSO's in Turkey. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to join the ALP Network since it is widely accepted that networks of CSOs can be more effective than individual and İsolated organizations. For example networks may expand the individual capacities of organizations by providing increased social capital and building synergy among disconnected CSOs.

General Information
TIAFI is staffed by Anne O'Rorke, the founder and director and by Heather Üner, the assistant director. In our information and protection services, we have two full time staff members who work to serve the needs of the refugees and vulnerable members of the local community. We have staff who work in our Turkish language club, homework support club and in our play for a day safe space area for young children. Our kitchen workshop is also staffed by individuals who work to prepare and serve food for our food-insecure clientele. Additonally, we have two consultant phycial therapists who work with children and their families who have been injured in the war. We are supported by our Financial Officer and many dedicated volunteers. Our annual operating budget is around 130,000 Euros per year. Our primary sources of funding are grants and money awarded for projects and initiatives, as well as, private donations. These funds are obtained by writing project propsals for open and closed calls and contracting with the donating party.  Our main activities include projects, seminars, and information and protection services.  We partner with UNHCR, GIZ, the German Embassy, Yasar University, Izmir Bar Association, Die Drei Muskeitiers, Sivil Toplum Destek Vakfi, and Avicenna.
Mission and Objectives

TIAFI, which stands for Team International Assistance for Integration, is an organisation working to directly benefit the most vulnerable members of the community, most typically women and children Syrian refugees who have fled from war. Often the people they support have disabilities and resulting injuries from war. 
Their vital work touches the lives of those carrying trauma and the lasting effects of war, helping them ease their burdens and integrate successfully into society. TIAFI focuses on promoting social cohesion through special programming benefiting all members of the community. 

Main Projects / Activities

TIAFI works to improve relationships between the Turkish and Syrians through their inclusive food program at their community center. Syrian women cook over 120 hot meals a day for local Turkish families who are struggling financially. TIAFI is also home to a playgroup where Turkish and Syrian children come to play and learn together in a safe environment. 
TIAFI offers Turkish language practice to Syrian women and to Turkish women learning to overcome illiteracy. Women can also take part in career placement programs where they learn to produce high quality purses, backpacks, and t-shirts. Additionally, women make earrings and embroidered cloth, which they then sell to local merchants. 
One of their most vital programs is the Information Point, which is staffed by Syrian refugees. Through this, they receive hundreds of calls and walk-ins every day, from both Syrians and the Turkish, for various reasons. Typically, queries answered are usually those asking for help with booking doctors’ appointments, securing national identity cards, enrolling children in school and finding employment. TIAFI partners with the Izmir Bar Association and together, they offer free legal support to Turks and Syrians alike. Currently, TIAFI is expanding these services to an innovative online, multimedia digital platform to help our clientele who struggle with illiteracy and the extra challenges to their safety this vulnerability causes.
TIAFI also has a team of consultant physical therapists who care for children that have suffered physical injury from war or disease. They fit children with new prosthetic legs so that they can move, walk and play. They involve parents and carers in this process, to allow them to continue this therapeutic work at home, giving children the best chance at recovery and rehabilitation. 
TIAFI is also introducting a new nutrion program where Syrians and Turks together learn to prepare food that will heal their bodies and protect their families, participate in support groups and informational seminars. Through cooking and learning together, sharing and supporting, Syrian women and Turkish nationals are breaking downs walls of false ideas and prejudices to truly become neighbors.
TIAFI holds monthly seminars, often in conjuction with the local municipality, for its clientele. 
All of TIAFI's activities are free of charge. 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

TIAFI is an on the ground, at your fingertips source of aid for thousands upon thousands of struggling refugees and vulnerable members for the host community. As such, we are the first receivers of vital information which can help inform policy making, migration management and steps towards mitigating the challenges of the changing face of nationality in Turkey. 
We gather data every month and report to our local network, sharing with the municipality, regional stakeholders and the United Nation. This information can be a part of a larger conversation. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Anna Lindh Foundation works to promote cross cultural understanding in order to make resilient societies that thrive and this is our goal, too. We have much to learn from the members of the ALF network and would be excited by the opportunity to help share information especially in the context of a westward moving migration scheme.
