The Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Services has implemented 24/7 monitoring of violence and violence-risk cases across 81 provinces. Operating under Law No. 6284, the ministry’s legal team monitors investigations, intervenes in legal proceedings once indictments are served, and attends hearings to protect victims' rights.

Following these measures, officials reported an expansion of the national social assistance framework, noting that assistance categories have grown from four items in 2002 to 58 items. Efforts to combat violence against women include the use of KADES and GÖR applications, electronic monitoring, and the operation of 88 violence prevention centers. Additionally, programs such as Home Care Assistance provide monthly support to hundreds of thousands of families.
