Abstract
Günümüzde kadın, hâlen varlığını hissettirme ve kendini kanıtlama çabasıiçerisindedir. Ülkemizde ve dünyada yapılan sosyolojik araştırmalara bakıldığındakadının konumu itibariyle erkeğin çok gerisinde olduğu değerlendirilir. AncakTürk tarihi, edebiyatı ve kültürü incelendiğinde Eski Türklerde kadının sosyalhayattaki yerinin günümüz kadınlarından çok daha yukarıda olduğu görülür.Eşinin yoldaşı, hayat arkadaşı, çocuklarının anası olan kadın doğurganlığımünasebetiyle hayatın kaynağı durumundaki saygın bir varlık olarak anılır.Bu çalışmada Türklerin ortaya çıktığı ve ana yurdu olarak bilinen Asya kıtasındayer alan; günümüzde Rusya Federasyonu toprakları içerisinde kalan UralDağları’ndan Pasifik Okyanusu’na kadar olan alanı kapsayan Sibirya Sahası’ndayaşamış ve hâlen yaşamakta olan halklardan Yakut (Saha), Tuva, Hakas, Şor veAltay Türklerinin destanlarındaki kadın kavramı destan metinlerinden verilenörnekler aracılığıyla incelenmiştir.İncelenen destan metinlerinde kadının Eski Türklerdeki statüsünün erkekle eşitolduğu hatta daha üst konumda algılandığı, Türklerde cinsiyet ayrımıbulunmadığı ve kadının negatif ayrımcılığa maruz kalmadığı görülmektedir.Türk kadının bulunduğu konum ve statüsü itibariyle hayatın her alanında erkeğinyanında yer almasının, çağdaşları olan diğer dünya halklarıyla kıyaslandığındaEski Türk toplumlarının son derece gelişmiş bir kültür yapısına sahip olduklarısonucunu doğurmaktadır.
Today, women are still struggling to feel their existence and prove themselves. According to the research conducted in our country and the World, it has been estimated that women are surpassed by men with regard to their status. Nevertheless, when Turkish history, literature and culture are analyzed, the place of women in social life in Old Turks was far above women today. Women, who were spouses, companions of their husbands, and mothers of their children, were seen as prestigious, as the source of life in reference to fertility. In this study, the concept of women in the legends of Yakut (Saha), Tuva, Hakas, Şor and Altay Turks, who used to live in the Siberian Realm, which ran from Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in the modern Russian Federation, was located in the Asian content, where Turkish people emerged and knew their homeland, will be analyzed with the help of examples from the legend contexts. In the epic texts examined, it is seen that the status of women in the Old Turks is equal to, or even higher than that of men. There is no gender discrimination in the Turks, and women are not exposed to negative discrimination. The fact that Turkish women stood by men in all spheres of life, in terms of their position and status leads us to the conclusion that Old Turkish societies had a highly developed cultural structure when compared to other world peoples who were their contemporaries.
