“After growing up in a violent and unsafe home, I have dedicated the past few years to raising awareness around domestic violence. In creating an empowering beauty line, I feel a responsibility to help others in need. Together, we can truly make a difference. We all have a role in ending domestic violence.”

- Olcay Gulsen, founder Olcay Gulsen Beauty

For several years now, Olcay has been a personal ambassador for UN Women, a United Nations organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women worldwide. We are proud that since 2021, Olcay Gulsen Beauty has also been an official partner of this organization.

This partnership goes beyond just a well-known name and beautiful imagery. Each year, we take part in various concrete initiatives to support UN Women. Examples include organizing and sponsoring events, as well as donating revenue and/or products.

You can also find the special Olcay Gulsen Beauty x UN Women Serious Shine Lip Duo in our collection, created in honor of the Orange the World campaign to help end violence against women. All proceeds from this lipstick are donated to UN Women.

UN Women operates worldwide with the goal of achieving equal rights and opportunities for women and girls by 2030. To make this happen, they focus on several key areas, including combating violence against women and girls, promoting economic independence, and providing humanitarian aid.

Every year on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Orange the World campaign begins to raise awareness around this issue. Unfortunately, it remains a global problem, with 35% of women experiencing it at some point in their lives.

This year as well, many municipalities and organizations have joined the movement to stand against violence toward women. Through the link below, you can also sign the pledge or make a donation. Together, we can truly make a difference.
