In the literature, the discussions on women's shelters are based mostly on those shelters that are directed by women's/feminist groups or other ngos. The case of Turkey enables us to conceptualize another regime of shelters that I propose to call as the "regime of public-run women's shelters". In other words, establishing and management of women's shelters is primarily perceived to be a "public responsibility." The aim of this article, then, is to put forward the dynamics, i.e. the demands of feminists groups and the authorities' responses, which led to this configuration.
