AYDIN
DOĞAN FOUNDATION 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL AWARD 2016
Millions of children all over the world are continuously affected by
various inequalities between girls and boys. Adolescent girls need to be
empowered and their skills for daily life need to be enhanced through education
in order to resolve this predicament. Investing in the future of young girls
will also help fight against poverty, inequality, and sex discrimination.
Innovative solutions are required for improving the education levels of girls
and young women. Education of girls is an impetus that supports national
development objectives, according to findings. An incomplete education signifies
a squandered potential.
The Aydın Doğan Foundation puts forth efforts on education of girls in order to
enhance women’s position in society in line with the universal principle of
gender equality.
The Aydın Doğan Foundation on its 20th anniversary has decided to present the
AYDIN DOĞAN FOUNDATION 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL AWARD along with the standard
awards.
The first prize among the cartoons with
the theme of “Powerful Girls, a Powerful World: an end to poverty, inequality
and sex discrimination” will be awarded $8,000
