- Intersectional dynamics: men's engagement is shaped by class, ethnicity, religion and sexuality, producing uneven access to and impact of anti-violence programmes.
- Political context: shifting national politics constrain programme framing, funding and public reception, limiting NGOs' ability to promote equitable behaviours.
- Organisational structures and culture: internal practices, resources and municipal-NGO relations determine programme operationalisation and shape individual responses to interventions.

ABSTRACT
Global efforts to involve men in gender-based violence prevention reveal a complex mix of progress, challenges, and evolving strategies. While men’s roles as allies gain recognition, significant barriers remain. Drawing on data from interviews with 26 facilitators from NGOs and municipalities in Turkey, this research explores challenges in three areas: intersectional dynamics, political context, and organisational structures. How the NGOs and municipalities operationalise their promotion of equitable anti-violence behaviours depending on structural factors opens a new avenue to discuss the interplay between organisational culture and the broader political landscape, affecting individual responses to such programmes.
