Özet:

 This research was conducted with the aim of examining the perspectives of Roma women on gender equality within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The study was designed based on the phenomenological approach, which is a qualitative research method. The study group was limited to ten Roma women residing in Mersin. The data for the research were obtained through individual in-depth interviews. In the analysis of the data, the content analysis technique was used. As a result of content analysis, the research findings were examined by forming themes within the sub-goals set for Gender Equality, one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These themes include: 1 Education, 2 Discrimination against women and girls, 3 Domestic violence, 4 Early or forced marriage, 5 Economic and social opportunity equality 6 Reproductive health and rights. According to the research findings, Roma community often adheres to traditional views, Roma women experience gender inequality, lack access to quality education, lack economic and social opportunities, and are not sufficiently involved in public spaces and the workforce. It has been revealed that Roma women face discrimination due to both their ethnic origin and gender, which causes double disadvantage in the context of intersectionality.

 Bu araştırma, Birleşmiş Milletler Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri kapsamında, Roman kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğine ilişkin görüşlerinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomonolojik yaklaşıma dayalı olarak desenlenmiştir. Çalışma grubu, Mersin ilinde ikamet eden on Roman kadın ile sınırlıdır. Araştırmanın verileri, bireysel derinlemesine görüşme tekniği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi sonucunda araştırma bulguları, Birleşmiş Milletler Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerinden biri olan Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitliği için belirlenen alt hedefler kapsamında temalar oluşturularak incelenmiştir. Bu temalar: 1 Eğitim 2 Kadınlara ve kız çocuklarına yönelik ayrımcılık, 3 Aile içi şiddet, 4 Erken yaşta ya da zoraki evlilik, 5 Ekonomik ve sosyal fırsat eşitliği, 6 Üreme sağlığı ve üreme hakları şeklindedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, Roman toplumunun çoğu zaman geleneksel görüşlere sahip olduğu, Roman kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğine maruz kaldıkları, nitelikli eğitim imkanına erişemedikleri, ekonomik ve sosyal fırsat eşitliğine sahip olmadıkları, kamusal alana ve çalışma yaşamına yeterince katılamadıkları belirlenmiştir. Roman kadınların, hem etnik kökenleri hem de cinsiyetleri nedeniyle ayrımcılıkla karşı karşıya kaldıkları, bu durumun da kesişimsellik bağlamında çifte dezavantaja neden olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
