The result of the study showed that the social exclusion levels of women receiving service from Sakarya Women's Education and Culture Center were low and their life satisfaction levels were relatively high; that variables such as working status, marital status and family type did not cause statistically significant differences on social exclusion levels and life satisfaction of women; in contrast, it was found that the age of women on their life satisfaction and education level on their social exclusion levels caused a significant difference and there was a low, significant and negative relationship between social exclusion levels and life satisfaction of women. In line with these results it is recommended to spread the Women's Education and Culture Centers in the country, improve and update the content of services and programs in the centers and hire social workers in these centers.
