The Problem of Women's 'Absence' and Women's Representation in Local Government Assemblies: A Study on the Central Anatolia Region

Öz

Half of the world population consists of women. It is seen that women are underrepresented in international, national, and local administrations since they are compressed into certain roles and moulds with general assumptions such as social, cultural, traditional, etc. It is seen that women cannot reach the representation they deserve in the administrative processes in almost all countries. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation, but no reason can explain the ‘ignoring’ of women only because of gender and the frameworks and boundaries set by others for that gender. In this study, the ‘problematic of women's absence’ in local governments is analysed through the Central Anatolia Region. The aim of the study, the data of which were accessed by using the descriptive analysis method and document analysis method based on the official data of the Supreme Electoral Council, is to describe the representation of women among the members of metropolitan, provincial and district municipal assemblies and provincial general assemblies in the Central Anatolia Region according to the results of the local elections held on 31 March 2024. In the study, the thesis that women's representation in local governments is low in metropolitan, provincial and district municipal assemblies and provincial general assemblies in the Central Anatolia Region has been tested and the data reveal that women are not adequately represented in these areas. Necessary suggestions are presented to solve the ‘problematic of absence’ of women.
