Kadir Has University is deeply engaged in international partnerships that support the monitoring and assessment of progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Collaborating with partner institutions, the university contributes to global data initiatives that promote evidence-based approaches to sustainable development.<\/p>

As part of these efforts, KHAS systematically tracks and reports on academic publications, projects, and collaborations addressing sustainability challenges. By collecting, analyzing, and transparently sharing reliable data, the university ensures that its scientific contributions are visible and aligned with both national and international sustainability frameworks.<\/p>

These findings are regularly communicated to university leadership and shared through institutional reports, reinforcing KHAS\u2019s commitment to data-driven decision-making, transparency, and global collaboration in advancing the 2030 Agenda.<\/p>

Gender and Women’s Studies Research Center<\/strong><\/p>

The Gender and Women\u2019s Studies Research Center at Kadir Has University aims to create an intellectual locus for interdisciplinary research, teaching and institutional change related to gender equality. As one of our goals, we seek to critically re-examine discussions of equality and gender as they pertain to the status of women while bearing in mind that the field is not limited to male and female prototypes but also includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and intersex (LGBTIQ+) individuals. We are specifically interested in creating change that is systemic and sustainable. Ours is a feminist organization. We define feminism as a social movement that seeks to end sexist and gender-based oppression. As such, simply adding more women to existing systems is not enough, rather our goal is a transformation of systems of power so that they value a diversity of peoples and create conditions of equality. To this end, men have a role to play in advancing gender equality and we believe that an interrogation of cultural ideas of masculinity is vital.<\/p>

The Perception of Gender and Women in Turkey<\/strong><\/p>

This annual survey is one of the hallmarks of the Center. Each year, the Center conducts this survey to monitor the general trends among people in Turkey regarding women and gender issues. The survey focuses on questions related to women, family and society; women and work life; equal opportunities in business; social roles and working relationships; approach on women and LGBTI rights; abortion; women and politics. The study was conducted with 2499 people 18 years old and older representing the urban population of Turkey. The survey results show that, in general, there is a progression in perceptions of gender equality between women and men. However, women report a more egalitarian orientation than men.<\/div>

Legal But Not Necessarily Available: Abortion Services at Private Hospitals in Turkey \u2013 2022 (ongoing)<\/strong><\/div>
Abortion is legal in Turkey. In 1983, Law No. 2827 regarding Population Planning lifted the ban on abortion that had been in place since the foundation of the Republic. The study entitled \u201cLegal but Not Necessarily Available: Abortion Services at Private Hospitals in Turkey” includes all hospitals that have a department of gynecology and obstetrics. We were able to reach 454 hospitals and our goal was to systematically determine which hospitals provide abortion services and under which circumstances.<\/div>
