Özet:

 In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the cartoon named Winx Club, which is widely seen in many fields from textile products such as childrens clothes, bags and sheets to stationery and toys, in the context of gender. For this purpose, ten episodes selected by random sampling method from different seasons were analyzed by content analysis method. The findings showed that the physical features of the characters in the cartoon were emphasized, the responsibilities imposed on women served male-dominated gender roles, the man was glorified by devaluing the woman, and this cartoon supported gender inequality. It is thought that these messages serve to devalue women and womens labor and to reproduce gender inequality. Because children often identify with the cartoon characters they admire. For this reason, in order to promote gender equality, it is recommended that the content of cartoons that children can easily access should be examined in detail and such cartoons that do not have appropriate content should not be broadcast.The results were discussed in the light of the literature and suggestions were presented.

 Bu çalışmada uzun yıllar popülaritesini sürdürmüş öte yandan çocuk kıyafetleri, çanta ve çarşaf gibi tekstil ürünlerinden, kırtasiye malzemeleri ve oyuncaklara kadar pek çok alanda karşımıza yaygın olarak çıkan Winx Club adlı çizgi filmin toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda farklı sezonlardan tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş on bölüm, döküman incelemesi yapılarak içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular çizgi filmde yer alan karakterlerin fiziksel özelliklerine sıklıkla vurgu yapıldığı, ev içi sorumlulukların yalnızca kadın ile ilişkilendirildiği, pek çok doğaüstü varlığa karşı galip gelebilen kadın karakterlerin erkek ler tarafından korunması gerektiği gibi mesajlara yer verildiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bahsi geçen mesajların kadının ve kadın emeğinin değersizleştirilmesine ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin yeniden üretilmesine hizmet ettiği düşünülmektedir. Çünkü çocuklar hayranlıkla izledikleri çizgi film karakterleri ile de sıklıkla özdeşim kurmaktadır. Bu nedenle toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin geliştirilebilmesi için, çocukların kolayca ulaşabildikleri çizgi filmlerin içeriklerinin ayrıntılı bir biçimde incelenmesi ve uygun içeriklere sahip olmayan bu tür çizgi filmlerin yayınlanmaması önerilmektedir.
