 İnsan, varoluşundan bu yana her geçen gün yeni bir sorunla karşılaşmaktadır. Bu sorunlardan biri olan toplumsal sorunların ortadan kaldırılması veya bu sorunlara çözüm üretilmesine yönelik faaliyetler yürüten; amacı sosyal etki yaratarak sosyal refahı sağlamak ve kar amacı gütmeyen veya karı bu sosyal hizmetin amacına ulaşması için kullanan girişimcilik faaliyetleri sosyal girişimcilik olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu kavram yeni bir kavram olarak görülse de uzun yıllardan itibaren sosyal girişimciler sorunların giderilmesi için çaba göstermektedir. Birçok alanda sosyal girişim örneklerine rastlamak mümkündür. Çalışmanın amacı, Samsunda kadın konusunda çalışmaları bulunan sosyal girişimcilerin faaliyetlerini sosyolojik boyutlarıyla ve kadın bağlamında incelemektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle ürütülen çalışmada, Samsun ilinde faaliyetleri bulunan üç sosyal girişimciyle derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış, bu görüşmeler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda katılımcılar, öz olarak, kadının refahına yönelik sosyal girişimciliği, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğiyle mücadele olarak görmekte olduklarını, bunun ise kadının istihdam olanaklarını eğitim yoluyla güçlendirmeye yönelik proje ve aktivizmlerle sonuca ulaşabileceğini belirtmişlerdir.
