Constitutions are social and political texts because of their historical and political backgrounds. Generally an inclusive approach is preferred in constitutions, especially while regulating civil rights. However, considering the disadvantageous groups, it is common to use various remedial expressions within the perspective of new constitution-making aprpoaches. Women experience a limited participation in public life due to the inequalities they encounter in the private sphere. This prevents them to enjoy full citizenship experience and creates a disadvantageous situation. In this context, the concept of gender sensitive constitution argues that the elimination of existing inequalities should be started from the constitutions. In order to achieve a gender sensitive constitution, the preparation process must be first designed as gender sensitive. Accordingly, women’s meaningful participation must be provided in both public consultation and writing process. The demands of women should be carefully evaluated. Final text should pay regard the gender impact of each provision and should include specific provisions to ensure equal citizenship. This study aims to examine the concept of gender-sensitive constitution, which is an unstudied area in Turkish literature, through its making process and content. In this context, reports, guides and literature on a gender sensitive constitution were searched; Constitutional examples related to participation in constitution making and international texts regulating the content were examined. In the first part of the study, the concept of a gender-sensitive constitution will be introduced and then the participatory processes in the construction of the constitution will be discussed. In the last part, a narrative will be made on the points that should be taken into account in the writing process of a gender-sensitive constitution and on the content.
