WiLAT’s "Women Drivers Project" aims to identify, train, and support female driver candidates. At the project's launch meeting, Berna Akyıldız, CILT Turkey President and WiLAT founding president, stated, “As a global institution, CILT, under the leadership of WiLAT, has been working intensively for the past three years to increase female employment in Turkey's logistics sector and raise awareness among companies in this field. According to the latest data from TÜİK, the female employment rate has risen from 9.1% to 11.2% in the past three years. While this growth is encouraging, female employment in our sector remains very low, primarily because the proportion of women among blue-collar workers is much lower.”
