Abstract

Women’s human rights mean preventing all kinds of violence and discrimination against women, gender equality, equal participation of women in decision making processes and mechanisms, safety and freedom rights of women as individuals, equal protection of women by the law, right to pursue a healthy life, equal and proper work conditions, the right to not expose to inhumane demeaning acts, and as a base for all these rights, equal and non-discriminatory education right. Education is crucial to improve the social circumstances of women and along with health and income level, it is one of the basic indicators in “Human Development Report”, the first of which was published in 1990 by “United Nations Development Programme”. However, in spite of the developments in education in all parts of the world, education of women is still a major problem in many parts of the world. Women still benefit less from education opportunities and gender inequalities still continue. This study discusses the level of women’s benefiting from education opportunities in Turkey, the implementations to increase women’s education level, and problems and suggested solutions.
