ABSTRACT
Women have struggled for centuries in order to exist in working life. When today’s conditions are evaluated, it is obvious how important the female workforce is for the social structure to begin to change and for the sustainable development of the country’s economy. However, despite this reality, women continue to face various problems in working life, especially gender discrimination. In this direction, both the masculine dominance in the public sphere for centuries and the social prejudices brought by it, both the fact that women are physically weaker than men and that women have predominantly domestic responsibilities, necessitate protective legal regulations specific to women. From this point of view, within the scope of the study, the regulations stipulated by the Labor Law No. 4857 to protect women were examined. Although these regulations within the scope of the Labor Law clearly envisage provisions to protect working women, these provisions must be implemented, and within this, every individual in the society and every organization within the governance network have important duties.
