Women’s workload increased during the pandemic
Istanbul Technical University is celebrating March 8 International Women’s Day with a series of activities organized over digital media. The inspiring stories of Sabiha Rıfat Gürayman and Melek Erbul, two of Turkey’s first women engineers who successfully graduated from the School of Senior Engineering in 1933, are just a few of these. As ITUNews, we made an interview with Prof. Dr. Leman Figen Gül, Director of ITU Women’s Studies Center in Science, Engineering and Technology (WSC in SET) and Faculty of Architecture faculty member, on this special day that symbolizes the struggle for women’s rights. We would like to thank our distinguished academic for answering our questions sincerely.
