Özet:

 The European Union EU stands as a leading actor in promoting and advancing gender equality both within its borders and globally. Throughout Turkeys candidacy period of over twenty years, the EUs influence in the field of gender equality has been examined, with the argument that Europeanisation has gradually shifted towards de-Europeanisation. This article problematizes the EUs leadership in gender equality through the perspectives of feminist epistemic justice and colonial modernity, aiming to understand the dynamics shaping gender equality policies and the exclusion of marginalized groups from knowledge production processes. This study is based on a case study analysis, incorporating semi-structured interviews with civil society organisations in Turkey and the analysis of primary sources. Additionally, it evaluates the extent to which Turkeys domestic gender equality agenda has been influenced by EU policies and directives, as well as the potential impact of Eurosceptic forces that may have driven shifts in Turkeys approach to gender equality. By analysing policy changes from an epistemic injustice perspective, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of Turkeys gender equality policy changes and the interactions within its relationship with the EU.

 Avrupa Birliği AB, hem kendi sınırları içinde hem de küresel ölçekte toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini teşvik etme ve ilerletme konusunda lider bir aktör olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Türkiyenin yirmi yılı aşkın adaylık süreci boyunca, ABnin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği alanındaki etkileri ele alınmış; bu süreçte Avrupalılaşmanın zamanla Avrupalılaşma karşıtlığına dönüştüğü savunulmuştur. Bu makale, ABnin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği liderliğini feminist epistemik adalet ve kolonyal modernite kavramaları çerçevesinde sorunsallaştırarak, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği politikalarının hangi dinamiklerle şekillendiğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, Türkiyedeki sivil toplum örgütleriyle gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlara ve birincil kaynak analizine dayanan bir vaka analizi içermektedir. Ayrıca, Türkiyenin iç toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği gündeminin AB politikaları ve yönergelerinden nasıl etkilendiği ve bu bağlamda Avrupa karşıtı dinamiklerin ülkenin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği politikalarında ne tür değişikliklere yol açtığını değerlendirecektir. Epistemik adaletsizlik perspektifinde politika değişimlerini analiz eden bu araştırma, Türkiyenin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği politikasındaki dönüşümü ve AB ile ilişkilerin bu süreçteki etkilerini kapsamlı bir şekilde anlamayı hedeflemektedir.
