When we look at the world population in general, it is seen that women's initiatives in economic and social areas are increasing, but it is possible to talk about the existence of some negativities. When we look at it globally, although new opportunities are offered to women in employment areas, some negativities such as low literacy rates compared to men, social pressure and financial difficulties negatively affect women in entrepreneurship in every environment, as in every environment, in economic and social terms. Despite all the negativities, women who make an effort to realize themselves in entrepreneurship come together under the formation of cooperatives and become stronger in social and economic areas. Women's cooperatives have an important role in the development of countries. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty participants who are partners of women's cooperatives operating in Konya province. Five demographic and twenty semi-structured interview questions were directed to the cooperative partners. The answers they gave to the questions directed to the cooperative partners were recorded with the approval of the participants and these records were documented and analyzed by coding in the Maxqda program. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the biggest problems experienced by women's cooperatives were financial difficulties, management problems and employment. As a result of the study, it has been suggested that increasing state support for the problems experienced in women's cooperatives and providing the necessary information will create a solid foundation for women's cooperatives. Increasing state support for cooperatives and providing more grant support for women's cooperatives by the state will be healthier for the established cooperatives. This issue is important for the continuation of the existence of cooperatives experiencing financial difficulties.
