The Road to Resilience: A Mixed Methods Analysis of Stigma and Empowerment in Single and Divorced Mothers in Turkey

土耳其地处欧亚之间的战略要地，在全球事务、和平与稳定中占有重要地位。近年来，土耳其变革性的经济发展和进步日益突出。然而，这个国家根深蒂固的父权价值观促进了传统信仰和习俗。因此，人们期望妇女扮演传统角色，维护家庭荣誉，遵循核心家庭模式。在土耳其，对单身和离婚母亲的歧视仍然是一个研究不足的领域。本研究旨在通过有关妇女生活经历的高质量研究，弥补学术文献中的空白，但它也旨在加深对妇女生活的文化背景的理解，从而为为妇女提供信息和影响服务提供提供更多的范围。

Strategically located between Europe and Asia, Turkey holds an important position for global affairs, peace and stability and has gained increasing prominence in recent years for its transformative economic development and progress. However, the country is deeply embedded with patriarchal values which promote traditional beliefs and practices. As such, women are expected to adopt traditional roles, uphold family honour, and follow a nuclear family model. The stigmatisation of single and divorced mothers in Turkey remains an under-researched field. This study aims to contribute to a gap in academic literature through high-quality research pertaining to women's lived experiences, but it also aims to add depth of understanding around the cultural context in which women live, thus providing additional scope to inform and influence the provision of services for women.
