Abstract
In this study, the role of women's cooperatives in women's employment was examined. In this context, Kadama Women's Cooperative, which continues its activities in Erzurum province of Turkey, was determined as the sample group of the research. The research was prepared with a qualitative method and semi-structured interviews with Kadama officials. The data were written down and analyzed by content analysis. Kadama officials were asked questions about the activity areas of the cooperative, its role in women's employment, its studies and projects for training women for employment. Afterwards, the responses received from the participants were divided into specific themes. As a result of the research, it was concluded that Kadama Women's Cooperative conducted many studies on women's employment, nearly 1000 women took courses in the cooperative, the products produced by women at their homes or in the cooperative were sold and marketed via cooperative, and social and psychological support was provided to women within the cooperative.
