Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the experiences of handicapped women and men in the framework of gender. In this respect, it is aimed to describe how the evaluations of disabled women are shaped in the realization of gender roles and what are the determinants of disabled women's experiences. In the study, in depth interviews between 15.01.2017-15.02.2017 were done with 10 women and 10 men who apply to attend the vocational courses which are organized from the Corum Municipality Handicapped Education Centre or to get psychosocial support from mentioned centre. It can be said that the orthopedically handicapped women participants of this research are having difficulties in education, employment, family/married lives and in their social relations encountering discrimination due to their handicaps and society’s sexist approaches. The orthopedically disabled men who participated in the research are thinking that they are discriminated against because of physical environmental conditions.
