The results of this research indicate that women face a lack of support in various fields in the society. In fact, they have faced issues such as lack of security in the city, lack of efficiency in urban facilities and equipment, lack of legal protection, lack of protection against social harm, lack of support system in the employment environment, lack of self-confidence and lack of family support.
