WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN TURKEY” OR “GENDER OF OTTOMAN-TURKISH MODERNIZATION”

The development of the women's movement in Türkiye has a history dating back to the pre-Republic period, and this history is linked to modernisation as well as the existence of patriarchal power. History is the unity of continuities and breaks; when it comes to the world of culture, ideology and mentality in general, continuities become especially important. From this perspective, we can say that both feminism and anti-feminism in Republican Türkiye strongly reflect the Ottoman legacy. In Turkish modernisation, the fact that women were given the role of carriers of Westernisation and modernisation on the one hand, and on the other hand, the boundaries of this role were tightly drawn by men, is valid not only in terms of mentality but also in terms of more structural features. Today, we clearly observe the existence of these structural features and ideology and the desire to take revenge for their regression.

 The seminar is a single course of 2 hours.

General Information
Up to date, Young Lives Foundation has two project assistants and two project coordinators being lead by a general manager. Besides, an accountant and an administrative officer are as well included in office staff. In accordance with the projects executed, approximately 120 volunteers, 45 group leaders and 33 volunteer teachers are actively taking part in the activities of the foundation. The foundation is financed mainly by sponsorships, grants and donations and acts in project basis. In addition, scholarships are available for high school students with fewer opportunities. Agency of European Capital of Culture 2010 Istanbul, HABERTURK, Ministry of National Education, The Economic and Social History Foundation of Turkey and Education Reform Initiative are the main partners of the projects running.
Mission and Objectives

Our focus is young people, without making any discrimination.
We believe that any investment made to human develops and advances the societies. Our foundation is established for the purpose of carrying out educational studies- other than family and school education- in accordance with the determined goals. Spreading is planned through the transfer of learned values by educated volunteer young people to their peers and the education of the psychologists who provide education.
It would be easier for the young people to assume their own responsibilities if they know themselves and are aware of their own capabilities. A young person, who knows himself/herself, will start to perceive the "other" differently. It will be easier to create synergy from differences, and the young people would achieve the practical experience they need in social life.
Individuals and organizations who are in contact with youth and play role in raising them such as parents, teachers polices, judicial organs will be supported with educational studies. Studies will take place to create awareness among the government and society on youth.

Main Projects / Activities

Once Upon a Time in My Street is a research project on oral history which is executed in 10 districts of Istanbul from October 2009 to December 2010. The project is prepared for students who live and receive high school education in these districts in order to enable them understand their identities, states of belonging and differences through Istanbul.
Correct Communication Project is executed in seven distinct high schools in Istanbul in order to help youth develop their identities strengthen their relationships with their surroundings, learn to respect all human rights and to increase their ability to live together with their differences.
Service, Activity and Solidarity Project he adolescents acquire and develop the consciousness of civil society, social responsibility and volunteerism; that the significance of social activities in terms of human development is communicated; and that fundamental skills such as communication and cohabitation with the differences are enhanced for students.
