Women's Cooperatives in the Context of Rural Social Work and Sustainability: An Examination from an Eco-feminist Perspective
Abstract
Women’s Cooperatives in Rural Social Service and Sustainability: A Feminist Perspective on the Ordu Case
After the Industrial Revolution, which is considered the beginning of the modernization process, many environmental and sociological transformations such as urbanization, migration from villages to cities, and an increase in disasters have occurred in the world. This situation has brought about problems such as the decrease in natural resources, the decrease in agricultural production, and the impoverishment of rural areas. The sustainable development model has been developed and spread globally to combat these problems. The main purpose of sustainable development can be summarized as meeting the environmental, social, and economic needs of communities in order to sustain their existence, taking into account future generations. Sustainable development proposes to increase social welfare by prioritizing issues such as gender equality, environmental justice, and equal economic opportunities. Cooperatives are one of the most common methods used in sustainable development. In this study, the role of women's cooperatives operating in Ordu province in sustainable rural development and the transformations they have created in the lives of women living in rural areas were examined from an ecofeminist perspective. Consequently, according to the data obtained from the focus group interviews held with the chairmen of women's cooperatives, it was revealed that women's cooperatives carry out their activities based on sustainability and make significant contributions to the rural development process. It has also been determined that cooperatives strengthen women living in rural areas socially and economically.
