Persons with disability have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, yet they have serious difficulties in gaining meaningful employment. Governments are responsible for ensuring social inclusion, accessibility, and equity for the disabled people in employment, but should also encourage them to establish enterprises which will empower them and contribute to their full economic participation. Businesses generally target able-bodied consumers, even though disabled people as the untapped market, comprise around 15% of the world’s population. Social Enterprises (SE) prioritize social impact and social inclusion, but still require a profit contribution for the sustainability of the business. An SE providing inclusive and accessible products and services for disabled consumers can be run more successfully by a disabled entrepreneur who can internalize the disabled needs. Therefore, how disabled entrepreneurs are supported in their country will be a critical factor in their success. The research objective of this study is to reveal the supports provided in Turkey for disabled entrepreneurs in an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. The findings show that support for entrepreneurship was available in financing, investment, education, R&D and consultancy provided by the state and NGOs. However, accessible support for disabled people was limited to İŞKUR and KOSGEB. Disabled entrepreneurs whose SE targeted disabled consumers were examined as good practice and it was concluded that such ventures should be encouraged, whilst NGOs, social entrepreneurship platforms and the state should strengthen the awareness and improve the accessibility of the opportunities and support available for disabled entrepreneurs.
Objective: Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to evaluate the existence of Trotula, who is claimed to be the first female physician in Europe, as a historical personality and her role in the adventure of European Education History. Methods: The research was conducted via PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Library Genesis, Springer, Jstor Ebsco, ProQuest, Social Sciences Index Retrospective databases between October 1, 2017- May 01, 2021 in the form of a literature review on the subject. Also, in the Libraries of London, Paris National Library, Oxford and Glasgow Universities, research was conducted. Studies on works attributed to Trotula were evaluated. At the same time, the most famous works of the period on women's medicine which are known as the Liber de sinthomatibus mulierum, De curis mulierum, and De ornatu mulierum written in the 12th century were examined. Results: There is no clear information about whether a person named Trotula lived in Europe in the 12th century. However, in the light of available information, it is highly probable that a female healer named Trotula lived in Salerno. There are three works written in the fields of women's health and cosmetics entitled with Trotula Minor and Major, which are prepared by combining these works. Conclusion: In the period when the first universities were established in Medieval Europe, no concrete information could be reached that a physician and writer named Trotula lived. However, the books created with this name were used as an important source in medieval European medicine.
