Violence against women is a fundamental human rights violation and a structural issue in Türkiye, deeply rooted in patriarchal norms that legitimize and perpetuate gender-based inequalities. This violence, which manifests in various forms, threatens women's lives and limits their access to support services. While women's shelters provide essential support, the current system in Türkiye is largely insufficient in addressing the diverse needs of vulnerable groups, such as women with disabilities, migrants and women whose lives are under threat. The development of specialized, trauma-informed and holistic support models is therefore vital to help women cope with their traumas and regain their autonomy. This study analyzes the inadequacies of general guesthouses and discusses the necessity of specialization within a conceptual framework. It also addresses structural obstacles to implementation, including funding shortages, lack of expert personnel and societal resistance. To effectively combat violence, the study proposes a sustainable and inclusive guesthouse system sensitive to the differentiated needs of vulnerable groups.
