Drawing on their experiences, I reflect on possible interventions that schools and policy-makers should consider to regulate gender-sensitive social policies and to create a more women-friendly society and school environment, and to establish gender justice both as an outcome and process. The chapter argues for the value of the capabilities framework and list to form road maps and solutions for gender justice and provide a new language for thinking about gender justice and education in Turkey while arguing for the universality of experiences described in this book. The chapter concludes by discussing limited understandings of freedom and development in Turkey based on legislation, and proposes a number of social, welfare and education policies for the development of women from a capabilities perspective. © 2017, The Author(s).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCapability ApproachCultural HegemonyGender EqualityPhysical CapabilityWoman TeacherBook Chapter169182N/AWOS:000417091400008N/A2-s2.0-8506582179710.1007/978-3-319-39104-5_8
