GENDERED DISCOURSES PRODUCED WITHIN THE CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY CONTEXT IN TURKEY

Sustainability refers to protecting the environment, and preserving the economic growth and development for the future. Current global political context of women empowerment is focusing on a sustainable economy and society. Although women empowerment is positioned as one of the solutions for sustainability, there is a debate on the results of the corporate-led empowerment agenda, where remains a discursive terrain of such initiatives. The publication purpose of this book is to present an empirical inquiry to bring up whether gendered discourses are produced by corporate companies in Turkey within the context of women empowerment for sustainable development.
