| 520 | |a The main goal of this study is to examine the impact of headscarf ban on the social status of women who choose to wear headscarf in Turkey. In order to achieve this goal, the research has set the following specific objectives: i) to examine the factors that lead Turkish women to wear headscarf, ii) to understand the reasons behind the ban, iii) to gain an overall perception on headscarf ban among Turkish people, and iv) to study the impact of the ban on covered women. This study is undertaken to explore deeper into the above issues by qualitatively analysing the experiences of ten Turkish women who have been affected by this ban, with the main instrument being in-depth interview with the respondents. The findings generated from these data as well as other findings derived from other sources are then discussed in the light of Bourdieu's (1986, 1994, 1996) concept of symbolic capital and theory of education. In this study, Black's (1976, 1993) definition of social status which consists of five elements or dimensions namely vertical, radial, cultural, normative and organizational was used. The principal result of the study has shown that the ban has excessive negative impact on women's social status. It is also found that the main reason for wearing headscarf is the respondents' belief that it is a religious obligation and that the majority of people do not support the ban. In addition, the results also indicate that most of the respondents argued that the underlying reason behind the ban was to prevent religious persons from being educated and having good position in society. | ||
