Özet
This paper has two goals. One of them is to discuss how women’s movement in Turkey has evolved as a political
movement after the 1980s whose founding epistemes were challenged and questioned
by rising Kurdish nationalism and Islamism. Hence, we can talk of a Kurdish
feminism and Islamist feminism within the spectrum of women’s movement in Turkey. This
can be observed easily with the rising number of women’s organizations with
different political agendas and priorities. One of the tasks of this paper will
be to show how hegemonic Turkish feminism has been influenced and evolved with
the rise of other identity politics. In other words, it can be argued that
through out the 1990s the feminism in Turkey has come to be a movement
which opposes, resists, and pressures the Turkish state. It negotiates with the
state to pursue its political goals as it interacts with foreign women’s
organizations or international institutions such as the EU and the UN. The second goal of this paper is to
discuss the effects of the flow of funds from world societal, supra-national
and inter-governmental organizations to support projects that aim “empowerment”
of women in Turkey.
We will analyze how this international support influences the political
character of Turkish feminist movement. The effects of the professionalization
of feminism can be observed with the increasing number of organizations, projects
and personnel funded by these international organizations
