## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan spoke at the opening of the symposium**

&Uuml;sk&uuml;dar &Uuml;niversitesi Founding Rector and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, in his opening speech, reminded that November 25 was declared the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women by the UN, and touched upon women's psychology, the differences in the working models of male and female brains, and the approaches of the West and the Islamic world to male-female relationships.

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: &ldquo;Male and female brains work differently&rdquo;**

Stating that in 2003, a woman led prayers in a mosque in New York, and he considered this situation as a project on women in the Islamic world, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, &ldquo;Following this, I wrote a book titled 'Women's Psychology.' It is now in its 100th edition. In this book, I stated that men and women are equal in rights and opportunities, but not biologically and psychologically. The life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was my reference here. Male and female brains work differently. Especially during problem-solving, the male brain withdraws into a mental shelter. The female brain, however, wants to share and relax more under stress. If both are angry, a fight will break out.&rdquo; 

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: &ldquo;In Islamic culture, male-female relationships are complementary&rdquo;**

Noting that the perspectives of the West and the Islamic world on male-female relationships are different, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, &ldquo;The Western world says that male-female relationships are competitive. In our Islamic culture, male-female relationships are regarded as complementary.&rdquo;

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: &ldquo;The spirit of this age brings the role of Aisha to the forefront more&rdquo;**

Giving examples from the life of Prophet Muhammad to explain this understanding in Islamic culture, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, &ldquo;In the Age of Bliss, I would like to give three examples from the life of the Prophet Muhammad. The first is the example of Hadith Khadijah. The Prophet Muhammad’s first wife, Hadith Khadijah, was 15 years older than him. She protected him. They had very profound male-female relationships. The second is the role of Hadith Fatima. The daughter of Prophet Muhammad, married to Ali. She preferred to remain in the shadow of men. The third is Aisha. Aisha is in the role of a woman engaged in knowledge, engaging in conversations, and giving conferences. All three are correct. However, our Mesopotamian culture, which we are a part of, being a male-dominated culture, has preferred the role of Hadith Fatima more. The spirit of this age brings the role of Aisha to the forefront more. But all three are correct.&rdquo;

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: &ldquo;We need education that exalts the resolution of male-female relationships through dialogue&rdquo;**

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, &ldquo;The Age of Bliss, the period of our Prophet Muhammad, is known in history as the period when women were granted the most rights. All rights, such as inheritance law, right to education, and acceptance of women's personality, were given during this period. When the French Revolution occurred in France, there were discussions about whether women were human or not. That is, a thousand years later... We should not forget these. Especially the culture of violence, for example, Babylonian tablets mention teachers responsible for beating. This is an ancient method. We need education that exalts the resolution of male-female relationships through dialogue.&rdquo; Tarhan noted that the view that Turkish culture is generally male-dominated is common, but added, &ldquo;But this is not the case. In 80% of society, what the woman says happens.&rdquo;

## **Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka expressed his wish for a productive symposium**

&Uuml;sk&uuml;dar &Uuml;niversitesi Acting Rector Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka stated that since the university takes its name from &Uuml;sk&uuml;dar, one of the districts of Istanbul, one of the world's most important cities, with the deepest material and spiritual history, it has goals befitting this name. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zelka noted that as a university, they have 24,500 students, 4,500 of whom are international students, and expressed his wish for the symposium to be productive in offering important ideas for solving problems.

## **The importance of cooperation was emphasized**

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the symposium, Said Yüce, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Istanbul Science and Culture Foundation, stated that the world is struggling with major problems and that men and women living in accordance with their nature would help overcome these problems. Yüce also stated that the greatest danger is targeting the family and that measures should be taken in this regard.

## **Princess Neval Sabah of the Emirate of Kuwait was the guest of honor**

Princess Neval Sabah of the Emirate of Kuwait, who attended the symposium as a guest of honor, also spoke about the rights granted to women in Arab countries in recent years.
