At the end of January 1975, our prominent Prime Minister gave a speech on allocation of lighter jobs to women. He urged all government departments, police and private firms to follow this principle.

The question we pose is: Why should lighter jobs be specially allocated for women? Let us take a good look into our educational, economic, cultural and political position in relation to our social structure, and we will understand why such a speech given by our Prime Minister is easily accepted and not seen as unusual.
