A GREEN GENDER ANALYSIS ON “WOMEN’SEMPOWERMENT STRATEGY DOCUMENT ANDACTION PLAN ȍ2024ǧ2028Ȏ” OF TURKIYE

This research examines the "Environment and Climate Change" policy area of the Women's Empowerment Strategy Document and Ac on Plan (2024Plan ( -2028) ) of Trkiye in terms of gender perspec ve.Conducted according to qualita ve research methods and techniques, this research includes six themes: The existence of an approach that limits women to motherhood", "Avoiding the use of the term gender", "Special emphasis on gender-based data produc on", "Women's empowerment in the private sphere", "Environment and women" and "Green intersec onality".Within the scope of the themes generated, while claiming to be inclusive, the document notably equates the concept of "woman" solely with motherhood and the responsibility of raising future genera ons and excludes women who are not mothers.It includes statements and ac vi es aimed at empowering women within the private sphere.Furthermore, the strategic plans referred to in the document include ac vi es related to the produc on of gender-based data, but the concept of gender is avoided.This suggests that the document was prepared with an a tude that accepts or defends the existence of gender inequality.The document also emphasizes that women are more aff ected by adverse environmental condi ons than men, while their carbon footprint is lower.Moreover, when we examine the ac vi es that have been implemented or are planned, the inclusion of statements focused on educa ng women -who already tend to have a lower carbon footprint-about climate change or raising their awareness appears to contradict the gender-based founda on of the document.
