In Turkey women who live in rural area are need more protection orf their rights.In addtion most of women cannot join these organizations because of their family or husband. In Turkey ,sivil society organizations soak up great importance because of the goverment cannot its duty. I choose foundation for the Support of Womens Work (FSWW),its a reformist,revisionist and communicative social organization. In addition FSWW is against to group conflict in Turkey. I heard this organization from a friend of my mother. I went their Office in Beyoglu,and interview with a kind woman who Works there as a volunteer general secretary.The first aim of FSWW is that recognizes basic womens knowledge and effort in fighting poverty and contruction of their lifes ,and right to set up and solutions to their own concerns. Secondly,respects local woman set and avoids isolate themselves from their society. Thirdly,women are equal to men and it should be consideres as liet hat all over the society. Finally,they commemorate that womens equal participation in political and economic can only be achieved at the community or local level , is cooperation between local authorites and other stakeholders in society.When I intercommunicate her why you choose this organization she answered Acording to me this is the right place to defend the women rights and proviede jobs for women to gain them into the society and giving women economical freedom. According to informaton that I learn from she FSWW aims to help to women to determine their individual and collective priories, learn and implement pronounce solutions,develope their capacity and strenghten communication between them. In addition it supports training ,credit ,cnsulting and merchandiseing in order to append womens participation in conomic procesess.These are some programs of FSWW Early Child Care and Education Programs FSWW develop alternative ways in expanding early pincer care and education services to low-income communities, through the leaders and advocacy role of grassroots women.

The womens products are also marketed through meshing on the shops web site and other e-commerce sites. FSWW also created a regular second hand bazaar under the same name, with local branches run by women initiatives, the profit of which goes to local early child care and education initiatives. 4 ? On the other ,In Turkey so many women cannot join these programs because of their husband or family pressure. According to she ,their first aim to help these women who cannot join these programs because of society pressure.It is very easy to being a member of FSWW. After the registration ,members can be aware of the meeting by the telephone and mail. So many women find out this organization by word out mouth and by the internet site. Group conflict and gender is one of the most important issues of Turkish Society. So many women inured as second-class citizens. Social organizations such as FSWW try to change this idea. In addition goverment is not succesfull in terms of defending women rights. The law system is dominated by men because of that decisions are evermore protects men firstly.
