Abstract:

There are some differences between the tasks that women and men can do within the present socia-cultural reality. These differences can be expressed as division of labor for the organization of social life. Since the division of labor is necessary for the continuity of social life the different roles of women and men gain legitimacy. While society organizes itself with the help of division of labour, women and men live for the continuity of this organization. Within the routine of social life men and women share different participation rates: both sexes’ representation in the social area changes. In the context of these representations while women have become the subject of private area, men are accepted as the subject of public area. Although this situation is originated from the division of labour the social memory accepts it as a common attitude. This attitude towards two sexes causes a so-called social gender inequality. This inequality seems as a situation that gives rise to the priority of men. And this is one of the reasons of violence to women which occur as a result of economical factors.  In this work which presents women’s perspective on the fact of violence to women, it is tried to show the views of fifteen women from different social lives who exposed to violence. In this study, which analyses qualitatively how women perceives their role and the importance of their place based on the fact of violence to women, women’s contribution to economy  is examined and also it is shown that the education level effects the women’s perspective on the violence to women.
