In Türkiye, women's NGOs have gained significant influence in gender politics, especially since the country's turn towards neoliberalism. A survey conducted among 735 members of women's NGOs revealed that, contrary to expectations, many members hold gender inequitable attitudes, highlighting a lack of gender consciousness within these organizations. Key findings indicate that support for gender equality is higher among participants in Ankara than in Istanbul, and that factors such as education, political ideology, and socio-economic status significantly shape these attitudes. The persistence of patriarchal beliefs within these organizations suggests the need for a deeper analysis of the socio-political and structural barriers that hinder gender equality. This study provides critical insights into the intersection of civil society, gender attitudes, and advocacy in Türkiye.
在土耳其，尤其是自该国转向新自由主义以来，女性非政府组织在性别政治中已获得显著影响力。一项针对735名女性非政府组织成员开展的调查显示，与预期相反，许多成员持有性别不平等态度，凸显出这些组织内部缺乏性别意识。主要研究结果表明，安卡拉的参与者对性别平等的支持度高于伊斯坦布尔，并且教育、政治意识形态和社会经济地位等因素显著影响了这些态度。这些组织中父权制观念的持续存在表明，有必要对阻碍性别平等的社会政治和结构性障碍进行更深入分析。本研究为土耳其公民社会、性别态度与倡导之间的交叉关系提供了重要见解。
