Voice What Matters
Story Harvesting Circles are safe spaces.
We gather stories like seeds, spoken from one sister to another.
These stories reflect courage, transformation, resilience, and leadership
—and they become part of a collective legacy that shows others:
"If I did it, so can you, or please don't."
Nothing lifts a room like a woman celebrating another.
Voice What Matters
Every woman lifted forward. Every story carried further.
Our members are facilitators, storytellers, corporate supporters,
and action partners united by one mission: to lift young women by sharing our stories.
Circle up and join the Story Harvesting movement with the actions below.

Attend Events
Stand by your sisters at Story Harvesting Circles.

Join the Speaker Club
Share Your Voice. Shape Her Future.
Think of the TurkishWIN Speaker Club as the give-back heart of our community. Our members offer their voices, stories, and lived wisdom — to inspire the next generation.
We proudly list our speakers so that NGOs, student clubs, and our action partners can invite them to their events. You can join Story Harvesting Circles as experienced storytellers or contribute to panels and conversations that need a real, authentic voice.
Whether you share a defining moment, a personal breakthrough, or a quiet lesson learned, we are here to hold space for it — and help it echo forward.

Why It Matters
Oya Günay Alıcı
I believe that people are born with great potential.
Unfortunately, on the journey to adulthood, we sometimes stray from this potential or somehow forget it. I think every story we share is an opportunity to remind us of this potential.
Story Harvestings are wonderful sessions where women repeatedly become aware of their power.
