Turkey preferred to implement the policy of containment, which is based on the strategies of social isolation and distancing, instead of the policy of herd immunity, in combatting Covid-19. One of the significant impacts of this policy preference is closely related to the issue of gender equality. The need for immediate prevention in the struggle with Covid-19 provides a fertile ground to adopt gender blind policy strategies. Therefore the process of social isolation is particularly disadvantaged women in society. These disadvantages can be examined under the issues of unpaid care at home, the balance of life and work, economic impacts of the process, and violence against women. In the framework of these issues, this article intends to discuss how the policy preferences of Turkey in the struggle with Covid-19 between March- December 2020 affected gender inequalities in society.
