Education of women in Turkey

Abstract

In the 21st century, as womens and mens status are compared, it is noticed that women either remain in the background or are forced to this in the whole world. Women are paid less than men in the USA just like most countries. As for Europe, there are important achievements on behalf of women. In Turkey, although women are in a better situation than most countries in terms of the rights they gained, they still have disadvantages with regards to education, employment, health and violence. The main reason why women are unaware of their rights and do not use them enough is their lack of education.
