Günümüzde istihdam dezavantajlı bireyler için önemli bir olanak olması yönüyle dikkat çekmektedir. Fakat istihdama giren dezavantajlı grupların çeşitli sorunlar yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu anlamda engelli bireylerin ve kadınların ayrı ayrı yaşadıkları sorunlar literatürde ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte spesifik bir grup olarak görme engelli kadınların istihdamda yaşadıkları sorunları inceleyen herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu dezavantajlı grubun ihmal edildiği bildirilmektedir. Kesişimsellik teorisi çerçevesinde hem engelli hem de kadın olmanın sonucunda istihdamda daha büyük sorunlarla karşılaştıkları literatür tarafından tespit edilmiş olup bu sorunların ayrıntılandırılmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Dolayısıyla bu makale kapsamında en az beş yıldır aktif olarak çalışan görme engelli kadınların çalışma hayatında karşılaştıkları güçlüklerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırma kapsamında yorumlayıcı fenomenoloji yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Örneklem seçimi konusunda hem görme engelli hem de kadın bireylere ulaşılması amacıyla ölçüt örneklem yönetimi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma 20 görme engelli kadın ile gerçekleştirilmiş olup açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre tam zamanlı bir işte çalışan görme engelli kadınların çalışma yaşamında karşılaştıkları güçlükler "kusurlu çalışma sistemi", "iş arkadaşları ve yöneticiler arasında bilgi ve farkındalık eksikliği", "cam tavan sorunu", "ayrımcılığın sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan özgüven sorunu", "ayrımcılığa yol açan toplumdaki engeller", "erişim sorunları" olarak bulunmuştur.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ON THE CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY VISUALLY IMPAIRED WOMEN IN WORKING LIFE

Today, disadvantaged groups that enter employment experience various problems. In this sense, the difficulties encountered by disabled persons and women separately have been examined in detail in the literature. However, no study investigates the problems experienced by visually impaired women as a specific group in employment. Intersectionality theory suggests that being a woman and being disabled intersect, so more complex problems emerge for them in employment. Detailing these problems is crucial for policy suggestions. Therefore, this article investigates the difficulties encountered by visually impaired women who have been actively working for at least five years. An interpretive phenomenology approach was used in this research. In sample selection, a criterion sampling method was used to reach both visually impaired and female individuals. This study was conducted with 20 visually impaired women, and data were obtained using a semi-structured interview form consisting of open-ended questions. According to the results of the study, the difficulties encountered in working life by visually impaired women working in a full-time job were found to be "flawed work system", "lack of knowledge and awareness among co-workers and managers", "the glass ceiling problem", "self-confidence problem as a result of segregation", "barriers in the community leading to segregation", "access issues".
