Anliak, Sakire; Beyazkurk, Derya Sahin – Educational Studies, 2008
While, in some professions, the gender balance seems to be changing in the direction of equality, the participation of males in early childhood education has not expanded because of stereotypical perceptions of this occupation, low salaries and status, and fear of being accused of sexual abuse.

In post-war contexts, education is widely regarded as essential not only for civic reconciliation, but also as a key force for gender equity.
