“…The findings above also corroborate with studies investigating men's reported use of IPV against women in India, South Africa and Thailand that find that poverty, men's lower education attainment and lower income are associated with higher perpetration of IPV (Hoffman et al, 1994;Martin et al, 2002;Abrahams et al, 2006;Koenig et al, 2006).…”

Objectives: To identify whether individual and household economic empowerment is associated with lower intimate partner violence in low and middle income country settings. Methods: Systematic PubMed and internet searches. Results: Published data from 41 sites were reviewed. Household assets and women's higher education were generally protective. Evidence about women's involvement in income generation and experience of past year violence was mixed, with five finding a protective association and six documenting a risk association. Conclusion: At an individual and household level, economic development and poverty reduction may have protective impacts on IPV. Context specific factors influence whether financial autonomy is protective or associated with increased risk.

The differing forms of conflict associated with violence emerge when women challenge prescribed gender roles and male privilege.…”

This was extremely difficult research to carry out and we could not have done so without the support of the agencies and professionals who helped us to reach out to research participants -thank you. We also wish to acknowledge the many national, regional and international organisations supporting the None in Three project:

“…Other researchers have theorized that violence may occur in situations in which women's increased bargaining power threatens men's sense of control and superiority. 33 This interpretation also may help explain the seemingly contradictory findings on marriage registration and domestic violence. Perhaps, as interviewed women contended, marriage registration does indeed give women some measure of long-term economic security (by decreasing their risk of abandonment and increasing their chances of se- between husband and wife that leads to violence.…”
