Representatives of the Young Thought Institute emphasized the importance of the Volunteerism Law for Türkiye and the potential of young people in the field of volunteering. They also offered important perspectives on the impact of similar laws around the world and how important it is for societies, for young people to take a more active role in civil society. The panel aimed to raise awareness about volunteering, as well as to draw attention to the process of establishing the Volunteerism Law in Türkiye. With such organisations, the Young Thought Institute continues to support the key role that young people can play in finding solutions to social problems and supporting participatory democracy. While the panel encouraged young people to make positive contributions to society through volunteering, it was also an important step in raising awareness for the development of the Volunteerism Law.

It was observed that the panel was an important factor in raising awareness on volunteerism and participatory democracy.

WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN TURKIYE” OR “GENDER OF OTTOMAN-TURKISH MODERNISATION”

WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN TURKEY” OR “GENDER OF OTTOMAN-TURKISH MODERNIZATION”

The development of the women's movement in Türkiye has a history dating back to the pre-Republic period, and this history is linked to modernisation as well as the existence of patriarchal power. History is the unity of continuities and breaks; when it comes to the world of culture, ideology and mentality in general, continuities become especially important. From this perspective, we can say that both feminism and anti-feminism in Republican Türkiye strongly reflect the Ottoman legacy. In Turkish modernisation, the fact that women were given the role of carriers of Westernisation and modernisation on the one hand, and on the other hand, the boundaries of this role were tightly drawn by men, is valid not only in terms of mentality but also in terms of more structural features. Today, we clearly observe the existence of these structural features and ideology and the desire to take revenge for their regression.
