Throughout history, there have been many debates about knowledge and knowability. Especially in social sciences, whether or not objective information can be provided is still a matter of debate. According to feminism, which is one of the parties to this discussion, the background, identity, and gender of the researcher have an effect on the interpretation of the events and the shaping of the conceptual thoughts and thus the production of knowledge. The fact that women could not take place in higher education as much as men until the middle of the 20th century, has caused the social sciences to be dominated by the discourses produced only by men and a masculine world view. When it comes to international relations and security studies; men, being the overwhelming majority of decision makers and practitioners, has led to the lack of a feminine worldview in these areas. The end of the Cold War, beyond the foresight of traditional approaches, brought about the questioning of these approaches that have been dominating the discipline, and thus Feminism has found a place in both international relations discipline and security studies. Feminism, which deals with the main issues of the discipline with its feminine perspective, has come up with unique approaches to the discipline. When it comes to security, putting people, and women particularly, as the subject of security and working on threats to these subjects, has broadened our view of security.
