Gender Equality Plan
One of the objectives of the Gender Equality Plan of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) is to establish monitoring, evaluation and evaluation mechanisms and to compare gender equality (Section 5).
In this context, it is directly followed through the monitoring method implemented in the gender equality plan (Section 5.2). Furthermore, ITU adheres to Government Code 657 for wage regulations, ensuring full gender equality in pay scales. According
to Article 45 of this code, “No civil servant may be employed outside of his / her class or in the position of a degree below his / her class.” It is not possible to have any practice outside of the equal pay policy, and the salaries determined
for employees are monitored by the treasurers to ensure they are not underpaid.
Penalty against Discrimination
The salaries of women in ITU are protected with the law stating that discrimination against them will result in a penalty “The following acts warrant suspension of advancement or a penalty involving deduction from one or more salaries: … In the performance of duties, discriminating on the basis of language, race, color, gender, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, or sect; acting contrary to the requirements of the duty; engaging in behavior that targets the benefit or detriment of individuals.”
