Turkish girls' and women's sports

Posted by Elijah on September 26th, 2022

Women live modern, contemporary lives in Turkey, a secular Muslim nation, but they also value their traditions and customs. Despite the Turkish government's promotion and support of sport through the Turkish Football Federation, athletic clubs, and the Directorate General of Youth and Sports, there is a glaring disparity in the facilities and selection of sports available to male and female athletes (DGYS). However, girls and women do not always have the same access to these opportunities as men. The opportunities available to people vary by region, according to their socioeconomic status, and according to their level of education. How girls' families view sports has a big impact on how well they perform in sports. Women and girls have increased their involvement in competitive and recreational sports over the past 20 years, but this is still insufficient.

Turkish women are found in a secular Muslim nation, leading modern, contemporary lives while adhering to their traditions and customs. Because the country is diverse in terms of its regions, socioeconomic status, เว็บข่าวกีฬา and level of education attained by its citizens, this could change. Although the fundamentals of women's traditions and customs may still permeate their daily lives, as they advance in education and gain financial independence, they have the opportunity to lead much more contemporary lives. This might be considered a trait of Turkish women.

 Men and women "had equal rights in all aspects of life," according to the Turkish Civil Law, which was first published in 1926, shortly after Mustafa Kemal ATATORK founded the Turkish Republic (The Constitution of Republic of Turkey, 2010). As a result, women had equal access to opportunities and rights in terms of work, education, and family life as men did. In 2001, modifications to the Turkish Civil Law were made to better protect women and children. Father is no longer the head of the family because mother and father now share equal decision-making power in family matters.
