In line with the principle of "on-site service", teams from the Directorate of Women's Studies met with women and provided information on psychological, legal, nutrition and diet counselling, as well as child, adolescent, and couples counselling services. Training programs and workshop activities offered within this scope were also introduced.

Within the scope of the awareness activities, training sessions on Gender Equality and Violence Against Women were delivered by the Equality Unit, emphasizing the meaning and importance of gender equality. Additionally, the Women's Counselling and Solidarity Center held a Women's Health Seminar, covering topics such as understanding the body, hygiene and nutrition, reproductive health, communication, sexuality, and general health.

It was stated that, in line with the demands received during the events, the counselling services and training programs of the Directorate of Women's Studies will continue to be expanded and implemented both in the city center and across all districts.
