Özet

In  this  research, a  field study and analysis are  carried out  to  test  the  argu-ment that violence against women can  lead to  women’s poverty. The  the-oretical background and applied methodology are referred to  as  a “multidimensional poverty approach.” The field study was carried out  in districts representing the urban part of  Antalya province in  T€urkiye. Findings suggest that key  reasons pushing women into poverty stem from the “empowerment and security” dimension. The rate of women experienc-ing  deprivation in  the  indicators of regional danger and violence; being treated fairly; ethnic, religious, and cultural differences preventing access to public services; excessive criticism; and exposure to  violence is quite high.
