Nihan said, “We can reach many people through this project and the people run for us create awareness for the foundation.

 

38 people will run

 

“38 people, including five members of the foundation, will run for the foundation. The 33 people, who prefer to run for us, perhaps heard about the Women's Solidarity Foundation for the first time. These people wanted to do something for our foundation and for the women subjected to violence and they preferred to run. Through this project, we found the opportunity to create a communication channel that we have extended and developed.”
