Summary/Abstract: Although the development of the women's movement in Ottoman society was different from that in Western countries, it is a fact that they were affected by the women's movement and publications that developed in the West. As a result of the liberation of the press, communication and transportation opportunities that started with the Tanzimat era, the Ottoman intellectual was able to follow the developments in Europe closely. This follow-up broadened the horizons of literate Ottoman women by providing close monitoring of western women's organizations and women's media. Ottoman men also supported the women's movement that flourished in the Ottoman Empire, sometimes by opposing the modernist protectionist discourse, and sometimes by including women writers in their publications. In this study, the formation of Ottoman feminism is examined based on Ottoman women's magazines published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the writings of Ottoman male intellectuals of the period. The work in which feminist theory of history forms the theoretical framework of the historical process of the emergence of feminism in the world and its debate in Ottoman society, and argues that the roots of the discussions on feminism lie in the late Ottoman women's publications and associations, and extend to the struggle they waged with Ottoman men. It produces a discourse contrary to the expression of women's movements and feminism identified with the Republican period. Archive work was carried out and discussions over the concept of “feminism” were analyzed in Ottoman journals published between 1908-1920.

- Summary/Abstract:It is extremely recent for women to talk about their rights, and obtaining these rights includes many challenges and struggles. Süreyya Ağaoğlu, the subject of the article, was born in the late Ottoman Empire and wanted to exist as a lawyer in a world where women were not in the public space. Perhaps the difference from other women is that she had a wealthy and educated family, as well as the will to work and succeed. The long life of Ağaoğlu, who was recognized as the first female lawyer, also offered her the opportunity to work in many other areas: she represented Turkey abroad many times through professional associations and explained the importance Turkey attaches to women, development and advances in women's rights. In addition, he worked in associations that focused on children's education, and even became the founder of two

She was elected as the member of parliament from Istanbul in 1991 elections. Ciller served as the state minister in charge of the economy in the coalition government established with the Social Democratic People's Party with Suleyman Demirel as prime minister.After the death of the 8th President Turgut Ozal, Suleyman Demirel was elected as the president and left the position of the prime minister and chairman of the True Path Party.

She served as prime minister in the 50th, 51st and 52nd governments formed from June 1993 to March 1996. Since she is Turkey's first female prime minister, Tansu Ciller governments are periods that should be examined specifically with women's projects and women's policies.

- Summary/Abstract:Certain reforms and regulations have been implemented in Turkey to allow women to play an active role in politics. Women were granted the right to vote and stand for election in 1934 empowering women to actively participate in politics. Such regulations granting women access to decision-making mechanisms as equal citizens are regarded as a significant step towards the ideal of “reaching the level of contemporary civilisations”. Nevertheless, to this day women are observed not to enjoy the desired level of representation in politics and notably in the parliament in Turkey. Equal political representation for women is currently hindered by obstacles, as well as certain viewpoints against the acknowledgment of women in politics. The present study addresses the position of female representation in the parliament of Turkey between 1935 and 2018. The study conducted a literature review on the concept of gender and the specific factors of consequence for women’s engagement in politics. It has furthermore assessed the data concerning the representation of women. The most fundamental finding is underrepresentation of women. The study emphasises that lack of active positioning of women in politics is not a problem of mere figures, but essentially represents a problem of democracy and recommends enforcement of targeted regulations that will encourage women to take part and play an active role in politics (e. g. gender quotas).

- Summary/Abstract:In the current debates on democracy, the issue of gender is getting more and more space every day. This framework that expands on the need for more participation of women in political decision-making processes in order to establish more inclusive and therefore more democratic structures, is politicized on the axis of debate over women's gender roles and causes the feminist movement to play a big role in these debates.In this study, we will examine the progress of the feminist movement and movement in terms of contributing to their achievement of the right to political representation. Gender equality is defined as having equal participation opportunities for women and men in all areas of social life. One of the main objectives of the states that have adopted the social welfare state understanding is to achieve this equality. In this context, the aim of the study is to establish the situations of countries in terms of gender equality through the proportions of political representation of women. In the study, the World Economic Forum published since 2006, was prepared based on the data of the 2020 Global Gender Gap Index (Global Gender Gap Index) other countries in the preparation of the report of the situation in Turkey will be examined. Countries except Turkey is not in a detailed manner, the position of Turkey in terms of determining the scope of the relevant issues will be discussed to the extent useful.

- Summary/Abstract:The Mukhtar institution entered our lives from the beginning of the 19th century and made a great contribution to the formation of local dynamics as the smallest management unit. As a unique model, it also has a different value. The election and nomination processes of the muhtar and their administrations create an important opportunity for participation and representation, starting from the local point of view for voters. Its proximity to the public, its availability, intervention to local problems and the provision of solutions are very important for local dynamics. There is the possibility of solidarity and sharing. All these features have a great potential for change and development in terms of women's representation and participation. Despite this potential, women are represented very little or even negligibly in the mukhtars. As of 2021, there are 50.284 mukhtars in our country, including villages and neighborhoods. Only 1.101 of these mukhtars are women. Although the rate of women mukhtars, which was 1.3% in the 2014 elections, increased to 2.1% in 2019, it points to a serious representation problem. It is a situation that deserves to be examined in terms of many areas in itself, because women who make up half of the society have so little place in a structure that is so close and within their lives. This can also provide a basis for the need to create different sensitivities, models and awareness in terms of democracy and equality.The main purpose of the study is to trace how the mukhtar model can be an exemplary model on the road to ensuring equality between men and women in the developing world of the 21st century. This study will also be examined in terms of local dynamics, with the participation of women and representation in an mukhtar scale from an egalitarian perspective. Experiences of women mukhtars during their candidate and election processes, their studies, their organization styles will be conveyed through one-to-one interviews. Service examples of women mukhtars after they are selected will be included in the study.

- Summary/Abstract:The right of women to vote and be elected is the output of a difficult and long-term struggle. In Turkey, women won the right to vote and be elected in 5 December, 1934. The Swiss women were 36 years later, in 1971. In 2021, the rate of female deputies in the Turkish Grand National Assembly is 17.2% and in Switzerland it is 42%!Although the number of female MPs in the Turkish Grand National Asembly reached the highest rate (17.8%) in the June 2015 elections, it has been decreasing since 2015. It is seen that there is no positive situation regarding equal representation of women in decision-making mechanisms and the current situation is below the global average. In order to ensure equal participation of women and men in socio-economic life, it is critical that the government implements gender equality policies and that the selected women create pressure on this issue.In this study, the programs, statutes and election manifestos of 11 parties (AK Party, BTP, BBP, CHP, DP, HDP, IYI Party, MHP, SP, VP and HÜDA-PAR) that entered the 27th term parliamentary elections will be analyzed in a gender equality perspective. However, the data of the parties on women's representation during the election period and the election results will be evaluated comprehensively.

- Summary/Abstract:Among the many women engaged in non-violent struggles for the rights of oppressed populations, Luisa Morgantini occupies a leading position. Not only is she always in the forefront of peace marches in western countries, but she has personally visited the post-war scenarios in Iraq, the Balkans, and Kurdistan. After being a trade union member for many years, Morgantini was elected to the European Parliament, and in 2007 she chaired the Parliamentary Delegation for Relations with Palestine. Morgantini is one of the founders of the Italian Women in Black movement. In addition to this, she created the “Assopace Palestine”, an association that organizes trips to Palestine, thus allowing Italians to learn more about the real issues of Palestinian and Israeli activists.As a feminist and an activist, she is convinced that politics is where the rights of the oppressed can challenge the Realpolitik. All her actions are animated by a unique interpretation of politics. Like Antigone, the Greek heroine struggling against tyranny, Morgantini believes that it essential to start from the personal. The ordinary life of the oppressed remains negatively impacted long after the conflict has ended. For example, the Palestinian-Israeli predicament is a case in point of an unresolved situation that needs to be discussed at an international level. By meeting oppressed people in their own country, Morgantini supports their peaceful and silent struggle, but she also gives voice to those unable to bring their requests to a court of justice or before the global public opinion.

- Summary/Abstract:Since the last decade of the 20th century, the UNDP yearly Human Development Reports have played an invaluable role in shaping Western political strategists and actors’ wisdom about the ruling regimes and the status of women in the MENA region through linking Human development and Human rights indicators to the Gender Development Index. The 2010 Report, published on the eve of the so-called “Arab spring,” placed Tunisia ahead of most of the Arab countries in terms of Gender Development despite its relatively low Human Development Index. However, Tunisian women took the international observers by storm as they featured prominently on the frontlines of the popular demonstrations which broke out across the country brandishing slogans denouncing lack of freedom, employment opportunities, and dignity. The un-Islamist leaning of these predominantly unveiled women and their slogans challenged not only Western received wisdoms about the status of women in Muslim societies, but also a whole body of new Western strategic thinking about the post-secular dictatorships Muslim world, conferring upon “Moderate” male Muslims and Islamist women the daunting task of Muslim women liberation.This paper studies how the Tunisian women’s experience with the Islamist leadership prior to the 2014 elections represented a real challenge to the ideological underpinnings of this neo-Orientalist discourse. First, it defines neo-Orientalism and demonstrates how it paved the ground for the ‘Islamic spring’. Second, it gives a brief overview of the status of women rights in Tunisia, underscoring the limitations of state feminism prior to 2011. Third, it dissects the anti-women rights agenda of the Islamists and debunks the myth of the “Islamist women as custodians of women rights” by shedding light on landmark conflicts between women rights activists and the Islamists during the constitutional drafting process.

- Summary/Abstract:Today's societies, defined by Jean Baudrillard's conceptualization,are defined as “Consumption Society, the foundation of which was laid since the 1970s.

- Summary/Abstract:The idea of a woman accepted as the “other sex” has been unacceptable throughout history in terms of masculine mentality, existence of a woman with her own gender in a gendered society has only been possible as a “second sex”. The problem is that the demand of the woman to live with her own gender, with equal rights and freedoms to the man, is subject to natural legality without the need or approval of the masculine mentality. Therefore, while it is argued that gender studies have a functioning parallel to ecological cycle and natural laws in the perspective of ecofeminism and it has also thought that labor exploitation, marginalization, reification and cultural capitalism were built on the basis of a particularly sexist discrimination. Therefore, the masculine politics that caused women to be alienated to society evokes the pressure of power on women in the constitutional order, about representation in science-philosophy and art, and in demands for equality and freedom in social life and e.t.c. It has known that this negative discrimination leads to the exploitation of labor, the commodification of the female body, reification of people in general, legitimizing the reduction of women to second class human status with the perception of “second gender”, making the image of women a marketing tool in art, the extortion of women's right to speak and represent in politics, hence the alienation of the woman to her own society and marginelized to it. This alienation problem will be evaluated in terms of gender with the paper titled “Woman and Alienation” and philosophical dimensions of the mentioned concept will be discussed.

In fact, this has been an important issue for the media before their marriage. Media from all over the world concentrated on the family of Meghan, her education, her profession, her first marriage and all the details about her past before the marriage. Naturally, the day of the wedding was the primary agenda of the media. Accordingly, her pregnancy, the baby and her motherhood started to become focus point. Nowadays, she has been on the agenda with the Megxit crisis, which denotes the combination of the words Meghan and exit with reference to the exit of Britain from the European Union, Brexit. This study will evaluate the attitude of Western newspapers towards Megxit crisis since this became a major royal crisis and thus, a significant piece of news for the Western media in particular. The main aim of the paper is to examine the representation of the role played by Meghan Markle on the Megxit crisis on several British newspapers. Therefore, a number of newspapers such as The Guardian, Daily Mail and Independent will be investigated and an academic literature will be evaluated in order to reach the aim. Those three newspapers are selected since they represent center of the left, right and conservatives. The method of the study is discourse analysis since Megxit crisis represents a number of key issues regarding representation of women and gender. The study underlines the feminist perspective in its investigation and analysis. The gendered language of the newspapers will be explored and analyzed during the discourse analysis. The possible findings of the study will be the demonstration of the crash of two strong women, Meghan and the Queen.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper contains research on the traces left in social memory by a monument built in public space by the sculpture artist Meriç Hızal in order to express the reaction that she felt against femicides. The “Alyazma Monument”, which was built in cooperation with the Antalya City Council's Women Assembly and the Muratpaşa Municipality, was opened on 07 March 2012 in the Palmiye Park in Muratpaşa district. This monument, built on the concept of femicide, represents women killed by male violence. The artist who designed the “alyazma” form using the concept of a red metal pyramid in order to symbolize the women who were killed in Anatolia, carved the names of women who had been victims of violence and thus let the light leak from the holes of the characters. The fact that the light passing through the female names carved on Alyazma falls on the people entering the monument creates an intense state of emotion for the people who experience this artwork. The audience, upon seeing these names, shivers and feel a confrontation with these murders. Thanks to the light that leak from these names, the names of female victims are reflected on the ground, and visitors do not want to step on the names reflected on the ground.The aestheticization of a social pain in a pyramidal monument form invokes a thought-provoking, questioning feeling within the viewers. When it rains, the raindrops that slide from the cavities are identified with the tears of the deceased women. Can a work of art leave a trace in social memory? Is art merely an area of aesthetic pleasure experience? The paper will be developed on these questions and an evaluation will be made in the conclusion section.

- Summary/Abstract:Marriage migration of Mongolians to South Korea has increased since mid-1990s, in company with immigrant laborers and became one of the primary contributors to the bi-national population movement. And, tens of thousands of Mongolians expatriates are one of primary contributors to the first-ever multicultural trend throughout Korean history. Owing to the political, economic, and social transformation of the transition period, all Mongolians had been suddenly endowed with a great deal of freedom and personal opportunities which were beyond the boundary conception under the socialism and planned economy. While Mongolian people were involved in the abruptly-switching environments, they might anticipate witnessing the short-term outputs and enjoying a huge benefit from the shift term. The reality of the Mongolian society was, however, somewhat different from their expectation. Especially, it has not brought any breakthrough in the political, economic, and social status of Mongolian women, except for education. Notwithstanding the high level of educational qualifications of the women, they were barely standing on more competitive prestige than men in Mongolian society. Instead, Mongolian women’s participation rate in paid jobs has rather decreased. Another consequence of the ‘reverse’ gender gap of the education attainment level created a serious imbalance between males and females in orbit for marriage. This social mood of Mongolia naturally influenced many women to migrate into, mainly, South Korea for the purpose of marriage as a way to improve the standard of living for themselves and their family. This paper seeks for in-depth discussion on the future-centered approach from gender and family perspectives by looking over a close bi-national relation between bother nations, articulating characteristics of Mongolian expatriates and female marriage migrants in South Korea, analyzing their socio-cultural impact on Korea’s multiculturalism, thinking about a role of Mongolian female marriage immigrants, being interconnected with South Korean society’s forthcoming future.

- Summary/Abstract:In Bangladesh, it is estimated that more than 10,000,000 individuals have migrated overseas for work from 1976 to 2016. Women workers constituted less than 1 per cent of the total workers in 2002 which has arisen to a 13 per cent by 2013. This shows that migration has been a demanding issue for both men and women aspirants for a long time. However, many of the migrant workers face the challenge of adapting to a society that is not their own. And women become the most vulnerable of such situations as they experience a continuum of gender-based violence. According to a government report, 35 per cent of returned migrants have faced abuses in many forms. Some recent stories of exploitation from the victims have even surfaced on the social media. This shows the harsh conditions of Bangladeshi women migrant workers abroad. This ultimately becomes a threat for the overall socio-economic development of the country. Following this, the aim of this study was to explore the issue of women migration in Bangladesh in terms of its current trends and future from a sociological viewpoint. The study had followed its development mainly from the secondary information focused on existing literature and media (newspaper) review. Different international and national journals, reports, and statistical data have been followed. Special concentration has been provided to the newspaper reports. The sociological review on the current trends of women migration from Bangladesh indicates that there exists a cruel reality for the women workers abroad. But these go mostly unreported. The fear of being stigmatized after returning also plays a notorious role for such cases. This creates a constant threat for the future of women migration in Bangladesh. To mitigate the problem, both awareness and activities should be in place with proper inclusion of human resources.

This research investigated these legal rules proclaimed and international instruments ratified by Ethiopia to address gender based violence. Accordingly, a number of national legal instruments have also been adopted including the Federal Constitution, the Revised Family Law, the Criminal Code and other relevant policies pertinent to the protection of gender based violence in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Criminal Code did shy away from giving holistic definition and did not show the scope of the term violence against women in full spectrum. The constitution overly empowers religious and customary laws as arbiters of family matters such as divorce and inheritance. Gender-related laws adopted by Ethiopia did not have any kind of civil remedies protecting those affected by the violence. There are also neither separate domestic violence acts nor any kind of laws adopted to give specific civil remedies for the survivors/ victims. This is attributable to the absence of comprehensive anti-violence laws in Ethiopia that affects law enforcement from pursuing incidents of violence within marriage and cohabitation on the premise that there are no clear legal provisions.

- Summary/Abstract:Within the scope of Law No. 6284, it is possible to take a protective cautionary decision with regard to the persons who are protected and a preventive cautionary decision with regard to the perpetrator of violence. The followings are the persons protected within the scope of this Law; the women, the children, the family members and the victims of stalking who have been subject to the violence or at the risk of violence. The followings are the authorities that can take a cautionary decision; the judge of family court, the administrative chiefs and law enforcement officers. The judge of family court can take both protective and preventive cautionary decisions, the administrative chiefs can only take a protective cautionary decision. In cases where delay is considered to be risky, the law enforcement officers can take some of the the protective cautionary decisions identified within this Law which can be taken by the administrative chiefs and some of the preventive cautionary decisions which can be taken the judge. The cautionary decision can be taken for the victims and perpetrators of violence within the scope of this Law upon request or ex officio. The cautionary decision can be taken for a six month period at most initially. No evidence or report providing violence is required in order to take a cautionary decision. The fact that the cautionary decision haven’t been pronounced or notified to those concerned does not constitute an impediment to implement the decision. With regard to the perpetrator of violence who acts contrary to the requirements of the preventive cautionary decision, the preventive imprisonment is ruled by a judicial decision even if the act constitutes crime. In each recurring action contrary to the requirements of the cautionary decision, the period of the preventive imprisonment is increased. But the total duration of the preventive imprisonment shall not exceed six months. The judge has no discretion with respect to decide on the preventive imprisonment in the event of violation of the cautionary decision. In order to decide on the preventive imprisonment, the cautionary decision must be pronounced or notified to the perpetrator of violence including the legal warning stating that in case of acting contrary to it the preventive imprisonment in respect to him will be issued. The cautionary decisions and decisions regarding to the preventive imprisonment may be appealed to the family court by the relevant persons. The decisions on appeal are final. In this paper, it is aimed to examine and evaluate the issues of making and implementing the cautionary decisions, acting contrary to the cautionary decisions, appealing against the cautionary decisions and the decisions regarding to the preventive imprisonment by making use of relevant legislation, scientific studies and judicial decisions, besides addressing and offering solutions to the problems encountered.

- Summary/Abstract:This essay examines the interpretative model devised by the Argentine anthropologist Rita Laura Segato, in reference to the phenomenon of sexual violence. It not only highlights the originality of her theses, but also seeks to provide further insights. Starting from Segato’s analysis of rape, a political act that expresses a ‘moralizing’ intent, we will see how feminist political thought is developing an innovative approach to this phenomenon, by contributing to lift the veil of ambiguity that often accompanies debates about sexual violence, both in the public sphere and in courtrooms. In doing so, the essay emphasizes its inextricable link with power, domination, and cultural construction of masculinity in the framework of patriarchal societies.
