Abstract:

Although poverty is the fundamental issue for all humanity, it is a phenomenon mainly experienced by women. The women who are not able to reach the economic resources equally as men, benefit from the educational opportunities, take place in labour force or have to work under the difficult conditions with a low wage, defend their rights become impoverished. In order to prevent the woman poverty, women employment should be implemented. In doing so, the most effective solution is to enhance the woman entrepreneurship. Within the frame of the poor women entrepreneurship, woman cooperatives and micro-credit applications play a crucial role. By means of cooperatives and micro-credit applications, women can contribute to the family income by earning their own money from their workplaces instead of maintaining their lives by receiving help from others. In this way, women will become the individuals who can stand on their own feet.
