Equality of women and men is a fundamental right that must be realised in every field of social life. It can only be developed by being established as a culture. Within the framework of this right, “The European Charter For Equality of Women and Men in Local Life” was prepared by Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR). This Charter aims to achieve greater equality for their people for local and regional governments in Europe. It regards equality of women and men as a necessity for democracy and a fundamental right. Therefore, the Charter requires that signatories undertake equality measures and to commit to providing services on a local basis in lots of domains –for example; health, childcare, public procurement and contracts, security, social care and service, education. Local administrations are invited to sign it, to make a formal public commitment to the principle of equality of women and men, and to implement, within their territory, the commitments set out within the Charter. The signing of the Charter is not mandatory and has been left to the initiative of local authorities. The Union of Municipalities of Turkey, which is a member of CEMR and is carrying out projects with the Swedish Local Authority Association has indicated that it will support municipalities that sign the Charter. In our study, the content of the Charter, the responsibilities charged by the local governments in the Charter and the application area of the Charter will be evaluated
