Istanbul Summit 2014 was held in Istanbul on 31 May-1 June 2014, gathering over 100 NGOs and 306 participants (including 4 Ministers and 14 MPs) from 42 countries. The Summit was organized by the Journalists and Writers Foundation, a Turkish NGO with general consultative status at UN ECOSOC.

The venue of the Summit is of symbolic importance, with Istanbul being at the crossroads of many civilizations, cultures, and religions. This provided a fitting backdrop for the objective of Istanbul Summit to act as a bridge, including between governmental processes and grassroots involvement. Istanbul Summit brought together representatives of civil society, high level government officials, parliamentarians, experts and scholars with a strong participation of women to discuss Post 2015 UN Development Agenda.

This declaration reflects the discussions and the viewpoints of its participants. It outlines the general principle of the Post-2015 Development Agenda and emphasizes the role of civil society from women’s perspectives, as highlighted in the discussions.
