Article Cleats on, Battle Real: Sustainability and Gender Equality in Women’s Football(Frontiers Media SA, 2026) Aksakal, Nalan; Ornek, Serda; Erkan, Mert; Besiktas, Murat Yalcin; Terekli, Mustafa SerdarObjective This study aims to examine the rise of women's football in Turkey and the challenges faced by female footballers both on and off the field from the perspectives of gender and sustainability.Methods Conducted with a phenomenological design, the study involved semi-structured interviews with 18 female footballers playing in the Super League between June and September 2025, using a snowball sampling method. The data were analyzed thematically.Results The findings revealed that the experiences of female footballers are shaped at the intersection of individual motivation, environmental support, and structural inequalities.

Inadequate facilities, scarcity of female coaches, and limited professional opportunities were also identified as key barriers.Conclusion Women's football is not only a sporting activity but also a social arena with the potential to foster gender equality and sustainable development. The development of inclusive strategies by the Turkish Football Federation and clubs-such as equal pay policies, sponsorship support, female coach training programs, and female-friendly facility arrangements-is critically important for the sustainable growth of women's football.Article Effect of Gender Equality Education on Health Students Gender Perceptions and Roles: A Randomized Controlled Trial(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Isbay Aydemir, Beyzanur; Sahin Tokatlioglu, Tugba; Kuru Akturk, Nur Bahar; Dikec, GulAim To evaluate the impact of community gender equality education program on health sciences students' perceptions of gender, gender roles, and their awareness of social norms and gender inequality.

Political participation embodies an individual's aspiration to influence societal transformation and contribute to decision-making processes that shape communities. However, women's engagement in these processes has long been hindered by deeply rooted societal norms and systemic barriers. The primary objective of this research is to examine how perceived discrimination impacts women's political participation and to assess whether gender perceptions moderate this relationship. Data were collected from 313 female university students aged 18-58, utilizing the Political Participation Scale, Gender Perception Scale, and Perceived Discrimination Index. The results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between perceived discrimination and political participation, with gender perception acting as a key moderator. Women with stronger gender equality beliefs were more likely to recognize discrimination and engage in political activities. These findings emphasize the critical role of cultural, educational, and institutional strategies in enhancing women's political visibility and addressing systemic barriers. The study provides a robust foundation for developing egalitarian policies to promote women's active participation in politics, fostering a more inclusive democratic landscape.
