About Us

Another important mission of the League is to engage in activities that facilitate the development of friendship and understanding between American and Turkish women and to support the work of other similarly focused public organizations.

Since December 2021, it has been serving at a global level as an organization accredited to and a member of the United Nations Department of Global Communications.

By participating in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (via UNDGC) since 2021, we have focused on fundamental principles such as quality education, climate action, and gender equality. Accordingly, we continue our efforts to raise awareness in our community about how we can contribute to a sustainable and equal world.

Emphasizing the honorable place of Turkish women on the stage of history, the great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk addressed our women who showed heroism in the War of Independence, saying, “O heroic Turkish woman! You are worthy not of crawling on the ground, but of rising to the skies on shoulders!” thereby expressing his confidence in and value for Turkish women at the highest level.

Acting with this awareness, the TWLA fulfills its responsibilities with great dedication by cooperating with all authorized institutions and non-governmental organizations to elevate women’s place in society to the respected position they deserve.
