EQUALITY POLICY
Kadir Has University takes a dedicated stance on promoting gender equality, employing a multifaceted approach through its comprehensive Gender Equality Plan, the Gender and Women’s Studies Research Center, and the Unit for the Prevention of Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault.
The KHAS Gender and Women’s Studies Research Center stands as a pivotal institution within this commitment. Its mission extends beyond traditional academic paradigms, aiming to establish an intellectual hub for interdisciplinary research, teaching, and institutional transformation centered around gender equality. The center is driven by a profound commitment to education and research, with a dual focus on academic communities and the wider public, not limited to but primarily emphasizing its impact within Turkey. The overarching goal is to contribute significantly to eradicating sexism and dismantling gender-based oppression, both within academic discourse and society at large.
In tandem with this, Kadir Has University's Gender Equality Plan underscores its holistic approach to fostering a balanced and inclusive environment. By integrating policies and initiatives that address gender disparities at various levels, the university demonstrates a commitment to creating an atmosphere that values and supports the diverse contributions of all its members.
Together, these initiatives form a robust foundation for Kadir Has University's steadfast commitment to gender equality, not only within its academic and administrative spheres but also in contributing to a broader societal transformation. Through these endeavors, our university seeks to foster an environment that values diversity, empowers individuals, and actively dismantles systemic barriers based on gender, ultimately shaping a more inclusive and equitable future.
