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.

Grace Nichols’in Şişman Siyah Kadın Şiirlerinde Direniş ve Yetkin Siyah Kadın Bedeni

Author(s): Atakan Salcan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The literature from regions like the Caribbean, heavily colonised by Europe, inevitably reflects the colonial experiences endured. Living under such pressure shapes the literature of the region. Today, even subtle details bear the imprint of colonial oppressions, particularly in how Europe marginalises ‘White’ content. The standout poem addresses body image and self-acceptance, showcasing Nichols’s vibrant language and Caribbean roots. Postcolonial individuals face triple marginalisation due to intersectional oppression. Some strive to resist these pressures by illustrating examples of resistance in their works. The Fat Black Woman’s Poems stands as a significant work addressing themes of race, feminism, and cultural identity. Grace Nichols’ distinct voice and thematic depth make it a notable contribution to poetry. Through her poems, Nichols confronts othering and marginalisation based on gender, race, and body, and resists them. She connects past and future in “The Fat Black Woman Remembers,” explores the relationship between fashion and identity in “The Fat Black Woman Goes Shopping,” and critiques Eurocentric beauty standards in “Looking at Miss World.” In this direction, this paper aims to explore how the lyrical I in three poems from The Fat Black Woman’s Poems experiences marginalisation based on race, gender, and beauty standards in the black female body framework, employing an intersectional lens. The main argument is to illustrate how Grace Nichols portrays the othering and marginalisation of the fat black female in her poems, while also demonstrating the poet’s efforts to resist them and to reveal its difference from the other Caribbean poems that deal with these subjects. Öz Avrupa tarafından yoğun bir şekilde sömürgeleştirilmiş Karayip Adaları edebiyatı, kaçınılmaz olarak sömürge deneyimlerini yansıtır. Sömürge baskısı altında yaşamak, bölgenin edebiyatını şekillendirir. Bugün, özellikle Avrupa’nın ‘Beyaz’ içeriği nasıl marjinalleştirdiği konusunda, en ince ayrıntılar bile sömürgeci baskıların izlerini taşır. Öne çıkan şiir, beden imajını ve kendini kabul etmeyi ele alarak Nichols’un canlı dilini ve Karayip kökenlerini sergiler. Sömürge sonrası bireyler, kesişimsel baskı nedeniyle üçlü marjinalleşmeyle karşı karşıyadır. Bazıları eserlerinde direniş örnekleri göstererek bu baskılara direnmeye çalışır. The Fat Black Woman’s Poems, ırk, feminizm ve kültürel kimlik temalarını ele alan önemli bir eser olarak öne çıkar. Grace Nichols’un belirgin sesi ve tematik derinliği onu şiire önemli bir katkı yapar. Nichols şiirleri aracılığıyla cinsiyet, ırk ve bedene dayalı marjinalleşmelerle yüzleşir ve onlara direnmeye çalışır. “The Fat Black Woman Remembers”da geçmişi ve geleceği birbirine bağlar, “The Fat Black Woman Goes Shopping”de moda ve kimlik arasındaki ilişkiyi inceler ve “Looking at Miss World”de Avrupamerkezci güzellik standartlarını eleştirir. Bu doğrultuda, bu makale The Fat Black Woman’s Poems’daki üç şiirdeki lirik “I”in siyah kadın bedeni çerçevesinde ırk, cinsiyet ve güzellik standartlarına dayalı marjinalleşmeyi nasıl deneyimlediğini kesişimsel bir mercek kullanarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yazının ana argümanı, Grace Nichols’un bu şiirlerde siyah şişman kadınların ötekileştirilmesini nasıl tasvir ettiğini göstermek, aynı zamanda şairin bunlara direnme çabalarını ortaya koymak ve bu konuları işleyen diğer Karayip şiirlerinden farkını ortaya koymaktır.

Vasıf Öngören’in Tiyatrodan Sinemaya Uyarlanmış Olan ‘Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur?’ Oyun Metninin Genel İçerik Analizi

Author(s): Burak Akyüz / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

How to Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur?, written by Vasıf Öngören, the work tells about the social corruption and collapse of economic life through a woman. The work, which was adapted into a movie by Atıf Yılmaz in 1986, is considered a rich work because it can turn into another art form in this sense. The character of Asiye was dragged into a life other than what she wanted and could not establish herself as a woman. In this work, society’s wrong perspective towards women is also questioned. A general content analysis of the play, which is centered on the women’s issue, was made. It was produced from my doctoral thesis titled ‘Adaptations from Theater to Cinema and a Model Writer: Vasıf Öngören’. When evaluated under the title of Women and Art, women’s problems have been expressed in world theater texts for centuries. In this subject, which is handled in a completely objective manner by a male writer, not only a woman’s inability to realize herself, but also the criticism that she has no choice in the face of life is made. In the general plot of the play, Asiye resisted not to become a prostitute like her mother, but she failed. Her right to education was also taken away. With the deprivation of a woman’s right to education, her difficulties in working life in social life are described. The issues such as harassment and discrimination that she was unfairly exposed to in the jobs she worked before becoming a prostitute are conveyed to the reader in a clear language. In the play, which has a critical attitude on the axis of exploitation and marketing of the female body, the cruelty of the industrial and capitalist world is expressed. This play supported this critical attitude with songs.

Bir Öznellik Arayışı: İki Yokluk Arasında Bir Varoluş Hikâyesi

Author(s): Derya Güllük / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Constructed on a political, social and cultural ground, women’s identity has been addressed in a wide spectrum in the world of literature. With the 21st century, women’s identity, which has been discussed on an increasingly “politicized” ground, has come to the forefront with feminist theory and postmodern approaches. It is observed that women are questioned about their bodies, sexuality, motherhood roles, marriages and their visibility in domestic and public life, while the distance between the image of womanhood woven within the framework of cultural codes and the women who try to overcome them and want to establish a consciousness of “self” is also emphasized. At this point, Seray Şahiner, who started writing in the 2000s and who deals with the positioning of women in social life and the status of womanhood in her narratives, chose her protagonist from a slum neighborhood in her novel Kul (2007), for which she won the 2018 Orhan Kemal Novel Award, and in her novel Kul (2007), she dealt with the evolution of a woman who makes a living by cleaning stairs into an “invisible” woman by no longer being able to construct her own self when she cannot meet the roles of “mother” and “wife” marked by social norms. Womanhood is again constructed within the framework of the norms prescribed by society, and the woman who fails to meet these norms is unable to construct her own self and becomes objectified under the gaze of society. In Kul, we do not see Mercan in active resistance and she is almost purged from the center of her own life. Due to Mercan’s inability to establish a family, her house could not turn into a home, and the material destruction of the house in coordination with the urban transformation, which is particularly visible in the novel, brought along its spiritual collapse. Şahiner constructs the present of a woman whose past, childhood, longings and dreams we do not know through two absences. There are two important absences in Mercan’s life, two great emptinesses that hurt her deeply; the absence of her husband, whom we do not know why he left her, and the absence of a son who does not exist but whose existence she imagines. While these two absences occupy Mercan’s mind, we also read the wounding effect of not being able to be a wife and mother on her self and her questioning her femininity. In this questioning, he will always look for shortcomings in himself, list reasons and blur reality. Unable to get out of the patriarchal system of thought, unable to transcend the boundaries when she could have been a perpetrator, Mercan is tossed about in the chaos of the city. Constructed through the roles of wife and motherhood, womanhood seems to bury the woman’s self and identity under a pile of rubble when these two foundations on which it was built collapse. Ultimately, in this study, we aim to read the extent to which women’s existence has been blurred within the patriarchal system through the possibilities of feminist criticism.

Grafik Tasarımda Tipografiye Yansıyan Kadınsal Bir Bakış Açısı: Paula Scher

Author(s): Rumeysa Zeynep Araçlı Dursun,Ugur Bakan / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Typography, the backbone of graphic design and founded by Gutenberg, gained a different perspective from the modernist trends in the 20th century. As a result of the effects of the Industrial Revolution that took place in the 19th century, artists who approached art and design with a questioning attitude began to seek more aesthetic, experimental, and innovative designs—this period also brought about very important developments in terms of graphic design. It distanced the design aspect from traditionalism. It changed the course of the development process in graphic design and caused it to experience changes in terms of form and content. Artists also created their works by acting with a more aesthetic way of thinking. Paula Scher, one of these artists who showed herself in the 90s, is referred to as “the most influential female graphic designer on the planet” by Ellen Lupton. Paula Scher created a new design perception thanks to the impressive typographic uses in her designs. Scher stands out with her colorful, limitless, and architectural works. Scher attracted attention by creating a revolutionary design perception by combining architecture and graphic design. This unique perspective of Paula Scher evaluates the perception of design by reconsidering it innovatively.This research aims to examine the change in typography design, which has become a part of graphic design, in the modern period. Typography has been evaluated experimentally and innovatively in terms of aesthetics. It will conduct a detailed examination by focusing on the innovative approaches of Paula Scher, who has become one of the pioneers of this field, to typography design and examine her contributions to the field.

6 Şubat Kahramanmaraş Depremi Sonrasında Popüler Olan Koruyucu Ailelikte Kadının Görünmeyen Emeği

Author(s): Ayşe Betül Tanrıverdi / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

After the 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquake, interest and applications for foster care increased. With this increase in interest, the public acted emotionally and the compassion vein came to the fore. After the earthquake, foster family was misunderstood by the public and therefore there was a great increase in applications. It remains a mystery as to why many people who applied to become foster parents for earthquake victims applied and to what extent they have knowledge about the nature of foster care. In foster care, the woman becomes the object who takes care of the child. The child is commodified by the media and after all the processes are completed, the child is mostly taken care of by the woman and the responsibility is assumed by the woman. The woman takes care of the physical and emotional care of the child; she also makes the child the centre of her life with the anxiety caused by the control mechanism. Such a responsibility negatively affects the woman’s private life; her career plan is only the future of the child. Although raising children is a sacred endeavour, the fact that it is socially seen as a woman’s duty brings along a number of problems. In foster care, women come to the forefront; this situation brings emotional labour exploitation for women. In this study, it is tried to understand why many families who want to become a foster family for earthquake victims after the earthquake on 6 February applied, what they aim for, and the invisible labour of women in foster care are tried to be understood from internet newspaper news and comments made on social media accounts. The sample of the research is the news with the keyword “foster family” published in online newspapers between February-December 2023 and the posts on the official page of the Ministry of Family and Social Services. The sample of the study is limited to the year 2023 because the subject of the study is to investigate the increasing popularity after the 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquake. In the study, content analysis technique is used by using qualitative research method. In content analysis through coding, important parts are described and interpreted.

Afetlerde Kadınların Kırılganlıklarının Güçlendirilmesi Stratejileri

Author(s): Ayşe Handan Dökmeci / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Natural or man-made disasters can affect all segments of societies, but these effects differ among individuals. It is known that individuals characterized as vulnerable and fragile in the society, especially women, children, elderly and disabled people, are affected by disasters at higher rates. The vulnerability of these individuals to disasters leads to their low capacity to adapt to the environment and survive after the disaster. Their capacity to protect themselves before, during or after disasters is more limited and they are at greater risk for poor physical and psychological health outcomes after disasters. Considering the gender factor, it has been observed that women are more affected by disasters than men. Women’s physical, mental and social vulnerability makes them more vulnerable in disasters. In disaster risk reduction studies, it has long been recognized that gender inequality is a systemic part of risk. While some steps have been taken to increase resilience and strengthen women’s leadership in local governments, much more work remains to be done. Considering climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and global crises, it is important to remember that gender inequality has always hindered global progress and could pose a greater threat if not addressed. In conclusion, it is important that no individual is left behind in combating natural disasters and ensuring sustainable development. Empowerment of women who are in vulnerable and fragile groups and who are exposed to gender discrimination is very important in terms of disaster management.

Çatışma ve Afetlerden Barış İnşasına Giden Yolda Toplumsal Cinsiyetin Zümrüdüanka Kuşları

Author(s): Füsun Özerdem / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Discriminatory gender norms and social structures are the basis of gender inequality and explain why women are made more vulnerable than men in many areas of life. In times of crisis, when family and social structures and institutions are disrupted or destroyed, gender norms may be affected and gender inequality increases. The struggle for gender equality is more prevalent in both developed and developing countries, but reports published by various institutions indicate that women and girls are affected worse than men when countries struggle with crises. Climate change and the socioeconomic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, added to the effects of conflicts and natural disasters, further deepen gender inequalities, especially against women and girls. Sexual violence is another disturbing trend noted in United Nations (UN) reports. The UN Conflict-Related Sexual Violence 2023 Report notes that sexual violence continues to lead to both internal and cross-border displacement, with displaced and refugee women and girls facing higher risks. At least one in five female refugees has experienced sexual violence and its effects, including trauma, stigma, poverty, poor health and unwanted pregnancy. Although it is stated that the actual figures are “probably much higher” due to the difficulty of monitoring data and under-reporting of incidents, the report also highlights that “sexual violence is used as a war tactic.”There are many predictions that ensuring greater gender equality and including more women in leadership positions will reduce the likelihood of violent conflicts and will also greatly increase the possibility of peaceful resolution of existing conflicts. Research shows that countries with greater gender equality are more likely to resolve conflicts without violence and less likely to use military force to resolve international disputes. Concerted efforts to increase the number of women in conflict prevention, mediation and resolution efforts include UN Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted in October 2000, ensuring that women can improve outcomes in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.While this study reveals the situation of women affected by conflicts and disasters based on internationally accepted reports despite data limitations, it will also try to explain the effectiveness of women and girls rising from the ashes to prevent or stop conflict and subsequently build long-lasting peace, despite all difficulties.

Afetlerin Kadın Sağlığına Etkisi ve Hemşirelik Yaklaşımı

Author(s): Esra Gökdağ Balcı,Melike Dişsiz / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Disasters are defined as earthquakes, floods, storms, and biological and chemical accidents that cause loss of life and property for people, adversely affect society in physical, psychological, and economic aspects, can be of human and technological origin and are generally unpredictable. The International Disasters and Emergencies Database (EM-DAT) states that more than 26,000 disasters have occurred in the world since 1900.Although the effects caused by disasters negatively affect all individuals, gender-based inequalities affect women and children more, depending on social expectations, places of social status, and biological characteristics. In disaster management, nurses have important roles and responsibilities in maintaining and protecting women’s health under all conditions. These are; pre-disaster risk assessment, post-disaster situation assessment, emergency interventions at the time of disaster, manager, researcher, educator, and caregiver roles in the fields of implementation of infection control mechanisms. The purpose of this review; To examine the impact of disasters on women’s health and to raise the awareness of health professionals on the subject. In line with the studies conducted, it has been determined that women are exposed to unwanted or unplanned pregnancies and reproductive and sexually transmitted diseases due to sexual violence and poverty. After the disaster, serious increases were found in lower genital tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and menstrual disorders. In this process, it has been reported that the use of modern birth control methods has decreased and that unaffordable family planning services have increased. It has been determined that women face various health and breastfeeding problems during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods due to inadequate access to reproductive health services and materials. It has been found that pregnancy complications such as premature birth, hypertension, mental problems, and respiratory diseases are more common in pregnant women. It has been reported that the mortality rates of women are higher than men during disasters in developing and undeveloped countries. It has been determined that this rate difference is due to the problems experienced during pregnancy and breastfeeding periods. In the World Disasters Report, it was reported that women were forced to have sexual intercourse to meet their needs in disaster situations. It has been determined that women are at greater risk of sexual and reproductive health problems during disaster periods due to situations such as forced marriage, sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and psychosocial problems at an early age. Since women have more risk in disaster periods, it is important to integrate the roles and responsibilities of women’s health nurses specific to the field within the scope of disaster management steps.

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). Interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Open-ended questions were used in the interviews. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. As a result of the research, the trainees stated that the trainers at Mardin Artuklu HEM have sufficient knowledge and equipment. It is noteworthy that a significant portion of the trainees came to these courses for socializing rather than acquiring a profession. They think that the skills they acquired in the courses are mostly intended to meet the needs of the household. 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.

Mesleki Tükenmişlik; Kadın Akademisyenler Üzerine Nitel Bir Araştırma

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.

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.
