Publication: Ayrımcılık yasağı ışığında Türkiye siyasetinde kadın
Abstract
Bu çalışmada Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde kadınların sosyal, ekonomik, kültürel ve siyasal yaşama ilişkin yaşadığı sorunlar irdelenmiş, bu sorunlara ilişkin toplumsal hayattaki gelişmeler ve yasal anlamda kazanımlar tespit edilmiş ve çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur. İHAS ve CEDAW anlamında kadınlara ilişkin ayrımcılığın kaldırılarak pozitif ayrımcılık politikaları geliştirmek devletlerin öncelikli hedefleri olmalıdır. Türkiye’de kadınların Cumhuriyet’in kuruluş yıllarından bugüne değin kazandığı hakların yanı sıra kamusal ve devlet alanlarında yeteri kadar yer alamadığı bir gerçektir. Bugün Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde 50 kadın milletvekili bulunmaktadır. Kadınların mecliste temsil oranı,% 9,4’tür. Oysa Dünya devletlerinde % 48 oranında kadın temsilinin gerçekleştiği bir süreç yaşanmaktadır. Türkiye Cunhuriyetin’de de kadınların özellikle siyasal yaşamda yok denecek kadar az yer almaları ciddi ve güncel bir sorundur. Bu nedenle Anayasal ve Yasal anlamda yapılması gereken değişikliklerin ivedilikle gerçekleştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Ayrıca Avrupa Konseyi’nin 2008 Türkiye Raporunda belirttiği üzere yasal anlamda yapılacak değişikliklerin toplumsal hayatta da ivedilikle uygulanır kılınması gerekmektedir. Bu çerçevede birinci bölümde Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de kadınların yaşadığı sosyal, ekonomik, kültürel ve siyasal sorunlar irdelenmiş, ikinci bölümde uluslararası belgelerde düzenlediği üzere pozitif ayrımcılık politikaları ve bu kapsamda özellikle kota politikaları ve kota politikalarını uygulama şekilleri incelenmiştir. Son Bölümde ise Türkiye’de tarihi süreç içerisinde siyasal hayatta kadının yeri, kadın hakları anlamında kazanımlar ve siyasal temsil sorunu incelenerek kadınların temsilini arttırma yolları değerlendirilmiştir.
