Abstract
COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde alınan önlemlerin halk sağlığı için gerekli olduğu ve herkes için eşitlik getirdiği alanyazında belirtilse de uzaktan çalışma, okulların kapatılması, sokağa çıkma kısıtlaması gibi önlemlerin bazı alanlardaki eşitsizlikleri derinleştirme ihtimali olduğu düşünülmektedir. Söz konusu alanlardan biri de toplumsal cinsiyettir. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada sivil toplum kuruluşlarının (STK’ların) gözüyle COVID-19 pandemisinin Türkiye’deki toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğine etkisinin ve STK’ların pandemi dönemindeki ilgili çalışmalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren 10 farklı STK’nın süreç içerisindeki deneyimleri ve çalışmaları nitel yöntem kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Ulaşılan STK’ların çalışmalarına pandemi sürecinde ara vermedikleri ve bilgilendirici, savunucu ve hizmet üretici bir misyon yüklenerek kadınlara yardımcı oldukları belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, COVID-19 döneminde STK’ların kadın çalışmalarındaki önemini ortaya koymuş olup kadınların desteklenmesine yönelik ihtiyacın sürdüğüne işaret etmektedir.

Abstract
Although it is stated in the literature that the measures taken during COVID-19 pandemic are necessary for public health and bring equality for everyone, it is thought that measures such as working remotely, closing of schools and curfews are likely to deepen inequalities in some areas. One of the areas in question is gender. Hence, in this study aimed to investigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on gender inequalities and the related works of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) during pandemic period from the perception of NGOs. In this context, experiences and activities of 10 different NGOs operating in Turkey in the pandemic process were studied using qualitative methods. It has been determined that contacted NGOs kept working and helped women by undertaking an informative, defensive and facilitating mission. These results revealed the importance of NGOs in women's movements and point out that the need to support women continues during the COVID-19 period.
