Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’ de kadın refahı alanında çalışan akademisyenlerin ve meslek elemanlarının kadın cinayetlerine yönelik hizmetlere ilişkin görüşlerini keşfetmektir. Kadın refahı alanında çalışan 15 katılımcı ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda belirlenen temalar; koruyucu ve önleyici hizmetlerin geliştirilmesi ve müdahaleye hizmetlerinin geliştirilmesidir. Kadınların hizmetler ve haklar konusunda yeterli bilgisi yoktur. Erkeğin cinayet riskine odaklanan koruyucu, önleyici planlamaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Siyasi gündem olarak politikacılar kadın cinayeti ile mücadeleyi benimsemelidir. Cinayete giden süreçte erken müdahale yapabilmek için danışmanlık ve eğitim hizmetleri geliştirilmedir. Kadın konukevindeki çalışmaların geçici olabildiği, kadın konukevlerinin gizliliği noktasında sorunlar yaşandığı, kadın konukevini terk eden kadınların potansiyel kurban olabileceği vurgulanmıştır. ŞÖNİM’lerin sayısının arttırılarak daha etkin çalışmalarının sağlanması, erklerle/faillerle çalışmanın yaygınlaştırılması, kadınların yaşadığı şiddet sonrası tekrar eşe geri dönmesinin cinayet için bir risk olduğu belirtilmiştir. Son olarak ŞÖNİM’lerin boşanma ve aile danışmanlığında daha etkin yer alması gerektiği, ŞÖNİM ve kadın konukevlerindeki meslek elemanlarının niceliği ve niteliğinin arttırılması gerektiği ifade edilmiştir.

Öz

The objective of this study is to investigate the perspectives of academics and professionals within the field of women’s welfare in Türkiye regarding anti-femicide services. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 participants actively engaged in the field of women's welfare. The themes identified through the analysis include the enhancement of protective and preventive services and the enhancement of intervention services. It highlights a notable lack of knowledge among women regarding available services and their rights. There is a pressing need for protective and preventive planning that specifically addresses men’s risk of committing femicide. Politicians ought to prioritize combating femicide on their political agendas. The enhancement of counseling and training services is crucial for early intervention in the lead-up to femicide. Furthermore, concerns are raised regarding the temporary nature of work in women’s shelters, confidentiality issues regarding these shelters, and the vulnerability of women leaving shelters, potentially making them targets for further harm. It was suggested that increasing the number of ŞÖNİMs would ensure more effective operations, along with expanding efforts to work with men/perpetrators. Additionally, it was noted that women returning to their partners after experiencing violence pose a risk of femicide. Finally, it was stated that ŞÖNİMs should take a more active role in divorce and family counseling and that the quantity and quality of professional staff in ŞÖNİMs and women’s shelters should be increased.
