Abstract: There are many individuals coming from different segments and groups among the individuals of the society. Since the interests of these individuals conflict with each other, there is an ongoing competition among them. Therefore, due to their diversities, individuals’ exposure to negative treatment and behaviors in economic, social or political areas leads to discrimination. In spite of the existence of several types of discrimination (ethnicity and race-based, religion and faith-based, age-based, sexual orientation-based, etc.), gender-based discrimination leading to abuse in working life in Turkey and the regulations related to positive discrimination stated in the labor and social security legislation will be handled in this study.
