Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze
the existence of, the reasons behind, and the legal remedies for
discrimination toward women in the Turkish financial system. There
are some studies and organizations in this area in which there is a need, especially
for emerging and developing countries such as Türkiye, where gender inequality
is difficult to overcome. Nevertheless, the presence, capabilities, and
strengths of women in finance are increasingly being acknowledged and discussed. Therefore,
the main contribution of this study is to support the elimination
of the gender gap in finance in emerging and developing countries such as
Türkiye. The findings indicate that the representation of women in
senior positions in the financial sector at major corporations has
become a standard organizational goal. Another crucial aspect in this sector is
inclusivity. It is of the utmost importance that senior management, regardless
of their gender, take action to ensure gender equality within the organization.
However, it is insufficient to address gender equality only in the context of
the workforceIt is equally important that women have equal access to financial
services as men, both as customers and in terms of the rights and conditions to
which they are entitled.
