EASILY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish Union”s EASILY project aims to increase the legal literacy of underprivileged women in different provinces of Turkey, to support their access to justice by explaining judicial aid and support routes, encourage the exercise of legal rights  through a social media campaign and craft based playful education. With this project, it is aimed to contribute to the prevention of active and passive violations of women”s rights in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this perspective, face-to-face interactive trainings were planned with 726 women with limited opportunities, through clubs and community training centers within Turkish Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each club made various practices in its own province. G\u00f6ztepe Club”s application area for the project was Gediz House mothers. The project, which was planned as four sessions, started on September 29, 2022 and ended on October 18, 2022 and reached 26 women. While our lawyer members delivered information in the sessions, Benal \u0130nceer acted as moderator, Beg\u00fcm Hunt\u00fcrk, Merve \u00c7elebi and Ay\u015feg\u00fcl K\u0131\u015flal acted as coordinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 29 session, Nazl\u0131 Yola\u00e7 lectured on \u201cWhy do we need law\u201d and again Nazl\u0131 Yola\u00e7 on “Gender Based Violence” in October 11. \u00d6zge Erdo\u011fan lectured on \u201cFamily Law\u201d in October 12. \u0130nci Menemencio\u011flu lectured on \u201cWomen”s Economic Rights\u201d in October 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sessions started at 14.00 and lasted for an hour or an hour and a half. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, pies, muffins, cookies, etc. was served in order to create a warm educational environment where women can express themselves comfortably. Gifts as reminders was distrubuted at the end of each session and had a raffle for the day”s winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each session, different handcraft works were carried out to make them feel more equal and more comfortable, considering that it would serve as an icebreaker to decrease the gap of status between the participants and ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first session\u2019s activity was threading necklaces of 99 beads of red, green and orange colors, representing our lives as \u201cOur Life in Beads\u201d theme; green for joyful and happy days, orange for ordinary days, red for hard or sorrowful days and finally a big bead for future expectations. These necklaces visualized the participating women\u2019s lives in beads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second session\u2019s activity was embroided  fabrics named as \u201cFabric of Life\u201d. Fabrics with 25 tiny squares were distributed and women were expected to embroider what they felt within 24 hours. The women expressed how safe they feel within relationships with the colors they embroidered; atmosphere based on equality and respect, communicant and shared, with green; nonviolent relationships, with orange; relationships with less love but more control and violence, with red threads. Hope for the future was expressed on the 25th square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third session of the handcraft work, a blanket named as \u201cWhen the Loops Unravel\u201d was created, by which the women conveyed their thoughts on divorce and alimony. Narration and handwork progressed simultaneously through training. Felt in green, orange and red colors, shining buttons, knitting thread, crochet hooks, needles and thread were distributed to the participants. They were asked to express their thoughts about divorce, if positive or negative, with felts in green, orange and red. They expressed the effect of women”s economic freedom on divorce by sewing different colored buttons on felt, reflecting ideas such as yes\/no\/I don”t know. They expressed their thoughts on alimony and family property by crocheting different colors of yarn around the felt, each symbolizing a different thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fourth session, women were asked to complete a calendar titled \u201cA Diary of Livelihood\u201d that emphasized their economic rights. On an imaginary 30-day calendar, they marked with pastel pencils and black and white stamps both their livelihoods and their work days and unpaid housework days. They painted the days they felt comfortable and secure in green, insecure and with trouble in red, average days in orange. They marked the paid days with white stamps and the days of unpaid housework with black stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coordinators were in charge of organizing the session venues, arranging the necessary materials and tools given to each participant, getting ready the refreshments and documenting the sessions with photographs and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, which we applied in Gediz House, was also carried out with Aegean Adult Education Center in \u0130zmir (EgeTEM) with the cooperation of 5 clubs of \u0130zmir, reaching a total of 68 women in Buca Municipality Cemal Yetkiner Culture and Art House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
