What is Private Patriarchy

Access to employment is one of the serious women's problems in Türkiye. Although the prevention of women's access to employment can be associated with many socioeconomic reasons, the basis of this problem is the patriarchal structure. Private patriarchy -with the effect of the conservative family structure-limits mobility and socialization, and, hinders women's access to public space. Due to the role definitions of private patriarchal, girls cannot benefit from education, and their employment opportunities are reduced. On the other hand, the public patriarchy maintains inequality through legal regulations and policies in the public sphere. For these reasons, women's participation in the labor force remains limited, cannot be employed, and they become unemployed because their limited labor supplies are not met in the market. The emancipation of women from this structure base on public policies, education, and the strengthening of organizations that struggle to eradicate gender asymmetries.
