Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitşizlik Mağduru Kadınların Şiddet ve Diğer Sorunlarda Yardım Alabileceği Kurumlar

Author(s): İclal Çağlar,Ayşegül Dönmez / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Women who are victimized as a result of all kinds of violence against women, women’s disempowerment, gender inequality, social impositions and expectations, continue to be victimized in our country as in many parts of the world from past to present. Women face gender inequality even before they are born. In reproductive age, they are blamed for the sex of their babies, their right to education is denied, they are subjected to mobbing in working life, and their social roles and responsibilities continue at home. In order to prevent gender-based violence, empower women and improve their health, support systems need to be established, preventive services need to be planned and accessible. Midwives should evaluate every woman and girl they encounter in terms of violence. Health managers should develop health service policies that integrate preventive and protective services with psychosocial support services and ensure that they are easily accessible when needed. This review, which is based on the literature, aims to share information about the institutions where women who are victims of gender inequality can receive help in cases of violence and other problems.

Madde Bağımlılığı ve Şiddet Döngüsü: Madde Bağımlısı Kadınlarda Şiddet Deneyiminin İncelenmesi

Author(s): Aslıhan Ardıç Çobaner,Günseli Doğan Binol / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Violence emerges as an important risk factor in the process of women starting to use substances and substance addiction. So much so that, while violence increases the risk of starting substance use as a cycle, it continues in the addiction process, taking different forms, and sometimes turns women into perpetrators of violence. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of violence that women who use substances encounter during the process of starting substance use and addiction, and the impact of this violence on the substance addiction process (starting substance use and treatment). Additionally, this study examines the obstacles women face in the process of substance use and substance addiction, in starting and continuing treatment; it aims to understand whether the violence factor continues in this process and the relationship between these obstacles and gender. The study was planned according to the phenomenological (interpretive) approach, one of the qualitative research methods, and the data was collected through in-depth interviews. Interviews were conducted face-to-face and online with women over the age of 18 with a history of substance addiction residing in Ankara and Mersin, at alcohol and substance addiction treatment centers (AMATEM) and Green Crescent Counseling Centers (YEDAM) in these provinces. The study aims to contribute to the studies that appear to be insufficient in the Turkish literature in the field of women and substance addiction, to protect women from substance addiction, to identify the barriers in treatment processes, and to increase their participation in these processes.

Kadın Düşmanlığı ve Yansıdığı Alanlar

Author(s): Gülşen Vural,Tuğçe Akgül / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Today, discussions about women are shaped by gender norms, forced marriages, gender inequality, girls’ education and the victimization of women in society. Studies conducted throughout history show that women’s daily place in society, their rights and the roles attributed to them have been subject to criticism in the past. Traditional norms, under male rules, have encouraged degrading, exclusionary and hateful behavior towards women. Over the years, “sexism” methods have been used to spread the degrading and humiliating situation of the female gender. However, today it seems that a more complex definition is needed. Although sexism is compatible with sexism based on gender, it describes a more comprehensive and severe situation. Today, misogyny is the reason for women’s economic, political and social exclusion and restriction in terms of identity and personality. It is thought that this study will contribute to defining misogyny in daily life and raising awareness.

İkinci Dünya Savaşıı’nda Kadınlar: Yeniden Üretim ve Toplumsal Rıza Bağlamında Kadınlara Yönelik Söylem ve Politikalar

Author(s): Ayla Ezgi Akyol Giagtzoglou / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Wars were periods when, the state’s concern for legitimacy, its need for the social consent relatively increased. In such a conjuncture, women as a social subject find more space on the agenda of political elites. One of the main reasons for this is that the political support of the male population at the front for the mobilization policy is closely tied to ensuring the livelihood of their families and guaranteeing the role of their wives in the household. Another reason is that women at the home front become more dependent on wages, they are also more affected by the economic consequences of the war such as the black market, inflation, price speculation and lack of access to necessities; this creates a social contradiction that needs to be resolved by political elites. A third reason is that the control and discipline of female fertility has become one of the main issues of politics due to the social role of women in the reproduction of “human resources”. Thus, from the reproduction of social consent during wartime to the management of poverty, from the legitimization of war to the continuity of production and social reproduction, women become one of the main agendas of political elites.During the Second World War, although the Republic of Turkey did not officially participate in the war, a policy of mobilization was adopted, a statist war economy based on excessive taxation was pursued and access to necessities became difficult due to the high rate of inflation, price speculation and black market. This article scrutinizes the involvement of women in the political agenda during the Second World War. Drawing upon the reports of the Parliament and state archives and newspapers and magazines of the era, it investigates the discourse crafted by political actors to reinforce the war’s legitimacy vis-à-vis women. It also examines the policies pursued by political elites to address the increasing poverty among women during the war, along with the contradictions experienced by women in production and reproduction processes. Furthermore, the article addresses the formulation of social policies concerning reproduction of women’s domestic societal roles, family and birth control.

Author(s): Havva Yağcı,Esra Özbay / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of public education centers on women’s employment. The trainings provided in public education centers, especially employment-oriented programs, are expected to provide women with sufficient skills and abilities to encourage them to participate in business life. However, it is seen that very few of the trainings provided in these centers are aimed at meeting the needs of the market. There are various studies in the literature on the effects of Public Education Centers on women’s employment. However, there is no research on the contribution of Public Education Centers in Mardin province to women’s employment. The study group of this research consists of 16 female trainees selected by simple random method from among 60 trainees in Artuklu Public Education Center in Mardin province center in 2023-2024 through 6 different courses (cookery, hairdressing, handicrafts, clothing, child development, furnishing).

Very few of the trainees think of selling the products they produce with the skills they have acquired in these courses to their spouses, friends and neighbors. It is noteworthy that the trainees who think of working in a job after the course are mostly trained in cookery. It has been determined that the trainings given in public education centers should be organized according to market needs.

Kadına Yönelik Şiddeti Anlamak: Olası Ekonomik Nedenler

Author(s): İsmail Hakkı İşcan / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Violence against women is the most widespread human rights violation that occurs all over the world, regardless of educational, cultural and economic development levels. Statistics show that violence has a significant proportion even in countries with developed economies and that it cannot be prevented and continues to increase. Prevention is very important for the health and future of individuals, families and communities. Violence against women can be caused by a variety of factors involving many different disciplines. Violence should be examined in a wide range of contexts, from economic inequalities to extreme human, environmental and health crises such as climate change. This study attempts to understand violence against women by identifying its possible economic causes and to provide guidance to policy makers on prevention. Economic causes of violence against women are related to economic dependency and lack of employment opportunities. Investing in women’s education, increasing employment opportunities and creating protective mechanisms against economic violence are important steps in preventing violence against women. Policy interventions should focus on ensuring women’s economic empowerment and reducing inequalities. At the same time, these interventions and policies should not ignore and even facilitate social absorption.

Author(s): Mehmet Dinç,Elmas Gezer,Sibel Nalbant / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

This study aimed to examine the experiences of female academics regarding how the problems/challenges they experience in their working lives affect their occupational burnout. In the study, a qualitative research was conducted using the phenomenological pattern method. The sample of the research consists of 6 female academics working at a state university in Turkey. Semi-structured individual interview method was used and 13 open-ended questions were asked to the participants, created by three academics who are experts in the field. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. In the research, five main themes were obtained to explain the occupational burnout of female academics. Among these themes, the theme is “difficulties experienced”; It points out that female academics face prejudices and access problems. In the second theme, “factors that cause burnout”; It has been revealed that there are problems regarding gender roles, workload, being ignored, and the cost of living. In the third theme, “factors that facilitate being positive and happy”; Opinions were obtained regarding improving the working environments of female academics, economic improvements, alleviating the workload, and positive attitudes of administrators/managers. In the fourth theme, “being a working woman”, opinions were obtained about the advantages and disadvantages of being a working woman. In the fifth theme called “Recommendations”; Opinions were reached on keeping home and work separate and keeping motivation high. It is seen that occupational burnout is higher in environments where the number of academics is low, the number of female and male academics is not equal and working conditions are not good. In addition, the social role of women, economic reasons and workload related to the title also cause occupational burnout. Making the working environment suitable, lightening the workload, creating fair working conditions with an egalitarian approach in the workplace and equalizing the number of women and men in the working environment can be recommended as effective solutions against occupational burnout.

İnşaat Sektöründe Cinsiyet Eşitsizliği; Kadın Mimarlar

Author(s): Merve Tutkun,Murat Tutkun / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Women have undertaken various roles and responsibilities in society from past to present. While these roles, which change and diversify under the influence of traditions, cultural norms, economic structure and social environment, sometimes bring to the fore areas of action where women are more active, they sometimes bring about discrimination and inequality of opportunities against women, and therefore their separation from action areas. This understanding, in which men and women are evaluated separately, has brought about a significant separation, especially in professional acquisition and business life, and certain sectors have been socially accepted as areas where women cannot take on a role. In this context, the construction sector, which is generally accepted as a business line in which men predominantly work, was evaluated within the scope of the study.Engineering and architectural services, which stand out as professions that require qualified education within the construction sector, were examined within the scope of the study in the context of women’s duties as a business line, their opportunities to use their potential and the difficulties they experience in the sector. In this context, the difficulties experienced by women who work within the architectural professional organization in office work and also in construction site / field work, both during their education periods and in business life, have been analyzed analytically within the scope of statistical data based on survey studies, as well as theoretical and conceptual evaluations in the context of gender equality / inequality.

Prenatal Testlerde Kanıta Dayalı Uygulamalar

Author(s): Maryam Azarnia,Çiler Yeyğel / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

The use of evidence-based practices in prenatal testing encompasses evidence-based approaches in routine pregnancy monitoring and fetal assessment, providing comprehensive evaluation throughout pregnancy. Therefore, the utilization of evidence-based practices in prenatal testing is crucial for achieving optimal maternal and fetal outcomes. This study aims to highlight the significant contributions of evidence-based developments in prenatal testing. Additionally, it seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of evidence-based practices in prenatal testing and emphasize their critical role in ensuring optimal maternal and fetal outcomes. Integration of evidence-based interventions such as ultrasound examinations, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling should be analyzed to enhance the quality and effectiveness of antenatal care. Evaluation methods for fetal assessment, including techniques such as ultrasound, should be considered to contribute to the early detection of potential issues during the prenatal period based on accurate and scientifically grounded information about fetal development. Utilizing evidence-based practices for comprehensive maternal assessment and monitoring maternal health will support pregnancy well-being. Challenges and barriers to the use of evidence-based practices in prenatal testing are evident. This study underscores the critical role of evidence-based developments in prenatal testing for achieving optimal maternal and fetal outcomes and advocates for their adoption in routine care. Among the notable findings of prenatal testing, high-quality evidence supports second-trimester amniocentesis as the preferred procedure for testing from the 15th week of pregnancy onwards. When a test is necessary before the 15th week of pregnancy, low to moderate quality evidence suggests that depending on the outcome of interest, transabdominal chorionic villus sampling could be considered as the preferred procedure. Therefore, further research is essential to address the challenges and barriers to the implementation of evidence-based interventions in prenatal testing.

Kadın Yoksulluğu ve Gebeliğe Etkileri

Author(s): Sevilay Aydın,Melike Dişsiz,Dilek Bingöl / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Poverty refers to a situation that includes not only lack of income and physical resources, but also social exclusion, unjust distribution of available resources, and powerlessness. The fact that women are more affected by poverty than men has led to the emergence of the concept of “female poverty.” Women struggling with poverty experience health problems due to adverse conditions such as difficulties in accessing health services, nutritional deficiencies, and low levels of education. This study reviews studies examining the effects of poverty on pregnancy. Poverty leads to problems such as inadequate nutrition before and during pregnancy, anemia, premature birth, and preeclampsia in the mother, and intrauterine growth retardation and low birth weight in the baby. In addition, factors such as lack of access to health services, inadequate immunization, unhealthy birth conditions, and high levels of smoking and alcohol use negatively affect both maternal and fetal health. Factors such as stress, low levels of education, unemployment, lack of social support, and domestic violence increase the risk of perinatal depression in poor women. Early diagnosis of pregnancy, determination of risks, provision of adequate nutrition, completion of immunization, prevention of anemia with folic acid and iron supplements, protection and maintenance of mental health are critical to reduce maternal and infant mortality.

Genital Yol Enfeksiyonların Kadin Sağlığında Önemi ve Ebelerin Rolü

Author(s): Selin Koç,Ayşegül Dönmez / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Genital tract infections are spreading worldwide and pose significant health risks, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. These infections affect the health of women and babies during pregnancy and can lead to adverse outcomes. Early detection and treatment through community-based screening tests is vital, but many women do not have access to these services or have limited access, and in low-resource settings, weak health systems and limited transportation contribute to increased prevalence and severity of genital infections. Ease of access to health services, promoting education and raising awareness are crucial to preventing these increases. In recent years, the availability of high quality diagnostic tests and recent advances in self-collected vaginal specimens offer promising solutions. The shift from syndromic approaches to more specific and effective diagnostic methods is contributing significantly to the well-being of individuals. Preventing mother-to-child transmission of infections is important for maternal and child health, and adoption of these advances in national and international guidelines and clinical practice can contribute to the overall improvement of women’s reproductive health. It therefore requires collaboration between the global health community, governments and non-governmental organizations to ensure effective resource allocation and implementation.

Author(s): Dilek Bingöl,Melike Dişsiz,Sevilay Aydın / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Introduction: Migration is an international problem that affects individuals and society socially, culturally and psychologically. Although migration is traumatic for all individuals, women, who are among the most affected risk groups by this process, are also affected more due to gender inequality. Migration has many negative effects on women’s reproductive health. This study was prepared to explain the effects of migration on women’s reproductive health.Method: Women who migrate due to wars, disasters and other reasons experience problems in terms of adapting to the new living space, changes in the cultural environment and lack of social support, which is one of the biggest negative effects of migration, in terms of benefiting from health services. In this study, studies examining the effects of migration on women’s reproductive health were evaluated.Findings: It is a known fact that wars, disasters and migrations experienced worldwide increase women’s general health problems. The most common health problems encountered by immigrant women include infectious diseases, vaginal infections, inability to benefit from family planning services, spontaneous abortions, multiple pregnancies at short intervals, fewer births in public institutions, more births at home, and irregular menstrual bleeding. When we look at the effects of migration on women’s daily lives and health, it can be said that it generally negatively affects their health and quality of life.Conclusion: Nurses have important responsibilities in protecting and improving the health of immigrant women. Nurses should accept that immigrants are at-risk groups, and should be knowledgeable about the economic status, family structure, traditional practices, beliefs, communication methods, roles in the family and society, and cultural values of the women they serve, and should help immigrants access health services. In line with this information, an individualized transcultural nursing care approach should be offered to immigrant women without judging or questioning them.

Siyasal Hayatta Kadınlar: Cinsiyet Kotası Uygulamaları Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Author(s): Merve Özdemir / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

In its most general definition, political participation is defined as the power of the governed to influence the decisions and practices of the state. Political participation in countries; It depends on various variables such as gender, education, profession, age, culture and family. Political participation cannot be directly associated with voting behavior. Various features such as citizens participating in discussions on political and administrative issues, having basic knowledge about politics, and being able to objectively approach the information they obtain from the media are important for political participation. It is seen that certain debates regarding gender equality continue since ancient Greece and continue today. Although there is a difference in terms of gender equality compared to the past, it is seen that this issue is not fully achieved in many areas today. One of these areas is the issue of taking part in politics. It is observed that especially women’s participation in the political field is lower than men. As in many countries of the world, women’s political participation in Turkey has a lower rate than men. From this perspective, the fact that women’s representation in politics is less in number than men brings about discussions on the democracy problem. One of the most important factors that create this situation is that women have a formal representation in politics. To prevent this, parties can create gender equality in politics by implementing quota activities, ensure that women are pioneers in meetings, and ensure that parties make women as visible as men in media campaigns. Quota practices to be implemented for this purpose will make it easier for women to gain more space in the political arena and for women to have a say in management. In this study, the concept of quota application will be explained and the practices of the parties in this sense will be included. In addition, in the method part of the study, female representation rates and quota practices in Europe will be evaluated and examined in terms of gender equality. For this purpose, although it is seen in the study that European countries are ahead in quota applications compared to some countries, it is seen that they cannot fully ensure equality between men and women in politics.

This study aims to examine the comments on Instagram influencer Ecem Taşer’s (@ecemtaser) post in which she and her husband announced that both she and her husband had received the HPV vaccine as a threat to women’s health and an example of sexist disinformation. User comments on Ecem Taşer’s post on HPV vaccination and the comments on these comments were analyzed through thematic analysis. Based on a case study, this study aims to understand the effects of sexist disinformation on women’s lives.

Kadına Yönelik Ayrımcılık Temali Kamu Spotu: Kültürlerarası Bir Yaklaşım

Author(s): Ömer Aydınoğlu,Fikriye Çelik / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Inequality between man and woman is a prominent form of discrimination in modern societies. This form of discrimination is related to the role attributed to women by male-dominated societies. Patriarchal society attributes a commodity value to women as sexual objects. This meaning is visible in public service announcements aiming to create social change. As known, PSAs are an important communication tool to change existing behaviour and/or create new behavioural patterns. Therefore, PSAs on discrimination against women broadcast in Turkey and Ukraine were analysed. The aim is to reveal through which gender the theme of discrimination gains visibility. Evaluating the social and cultural perspective specific to the theme of discrimination through the PSAs of two different countries points to the unique value of the study. Two PSAs on the theme of discrimination, selected from Turkey and Ukraine by purposive sampling method, were analysed through semiotics. Both visual and linguistic indicator differences were found in the message production of the examined PSAs; it was understood that the use of appealing elements such as humour, fear, sexuality, violence and music stemmed from the dominant social perspective depending on the culture. As a result of the research, it is observed that while the PSAs in Turkey were addressed through the superiority of men over women, PSAs broadcasted in Ukraine addressed the same theme through the representation of a disadvantaged and inadequate man against women. The study shows that culture, is also an important determinant of media content targeting behavioural patterns such as PSAs.

Kadının Soyadı Hakkının Türkiye’deki Serüveni: Bu Henüz Mutlu Son Değil

Author(s): Seda Özkan / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Article 187 of the Turkish Civil Code, which regulates the surname of women, annulment by the decision of the Constitutional Court dated 22/02/2023. Until the annulment decision of the Constitutional Court dated 22/02/2023, important judicial steps were passed regarding the woman’s right to surname. The ECtHR, in decision of Ünal Tekeli v. Türkiye, ruled that the woman’s right to surname was violated, and this decision became a turning point. In this decision, the ECtHR reveals that the article regulating the surname of the woman violates the right to respect for private life guaranteed by Article 8 of the ECHR and, accordingly, the prohibition of discrimination under Article 14 of the ECHR. This decision has also been a guide in terms of constitutional complaints brought before the Constitutional Court as of 23/09/2012. However, the violation of the women’s right to surname has not yet been eliminated. Because, although the annulment of Article 187 of the Law has eliminated the source of the violation, the fact that there is no regulation yet despite the nine-month period has expired, creating a new form of violation against the women’s right to surname by the legislature.
