“…Although these factors are fundamental, they cannot explain the important variations in IPV observed within societies or labor markets. A related line of research investigating the effects of transfers to women found that violence could be reduced when women's outside options were improved (Bobonis et al, 2013;Hidrobo et al, 2016;Roy et al, 2018), but could increase in contexts where women could not easily leave their partner and withdraw from an abusive relationship (Bulte and Lensink, 2019). 6 These transfers were independent of the sex of the firstborn and could not explain the findings of this paper.…”

“…Incorporating gender awareness in schools, starting in primary school, may prove useful. Recent studies of behavior change communication combined with transfers show that these strategies can change behavior and reduce physical violence (Roy et al 2019). Social networks also play a role in promoting collective power and changing behavior against GBV and stereotyped gender roles across different VCs.…”

established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

“…For example, one study in Côte d'Ivoire found that a programme where couples-based discussion groups occurred alongside Village Savings and Loan Association programming yielded additional reductions in IPV (Gupta et al 2013). Another study in Bangladesh found that pairing cash assistance with a women's support group centred on changing a specific behaviour (such as nutrition) potentially reduced IPV (Roy et al 2017). The core components of such approaches could be distilled and adapted for more acute and volatile settings where programming must occur within shorter timeframes.…”

Cash and voucher assistance is an efficient way to deliver assistance in emergency settings, and evidence demonstrates that cash programmes have consistent positive impacts on food security and other health and economic outcomes in these contexts. Nevertheless, while evidence from development settings shows that cash has the potential to reduce intimate partner violence and increase empowerment for women and girls, there is a dearth of rigorous evidence from acute humanitarian settings. In response to this evidence gap, the International Rescue Committee conducted an evaluation of a cash programme in Raqqa Governorate, Syria. The aim was to examine the effect of a cash for basic needs programme on outcomes of violence against women, and women's empowerment. This article draws on qualitative data from interviews with 40 women at the end of the cash programme. It offers evidence of potential increased tension and abuse within both the community and the household for some women whose families received cash, as well as potential increased social protection through repayment of debts and economic independence for others. Both negative and positive effects could be seen. While the objective of the cash programme was not to influence underlying power dynamics, this research shows it is necessary to integrate gender-sensitive approaches into programme design and monitoring to reduce risk to women of diverse identities.
