Cash, food, and vouchers reduce intimate partner violence in urban areas in Ecuador
No full textThis case study summarizes the impact of a short-term food, cash, and voucher program targeted to the urban poor in Northern Ecuador. The program led to a 30 percent reduction in physical and sexual IPV as well as a 19 percent reduction in controlling behaviors via decreases in marital conflict, increased family wellbeing, and women’s empowerment.Non-PRIFPRI1; G Cross-cutting gender theme; CRP2; Cash Transfer and Intimate Partner Violence Research CollaborativePHND; PIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM
Food and cash transfers coupled with nutrition behavior change communication lead to sustained reductions in intimate partner violence in Bangladesh
No full textThis case study from Bangladesh summarizes findings from a transfer program that—when paired with nutrition behavior change communication (BCC)—led to a 26 percent reduction in physical IPV that was sustained after the program ended. Pathways of impact include increases in women’s bargaining power, social interactions, and visibility, and decreases in poverty and poverty-related stress.Non-PRIFPRI1; CRP2; G Cross-cutting gender theme; Cash Transfer and Intimate Partner Violence Research CollaborativePHND; PIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM
Cash transfers conditional on schooling reduce IPV among young women in South Africa
No full textThis case study summarizes the impact from a conditional cash transfer program targeted to girls of secondary school age in South Africa. The program led to a 34 percent reduction in intimate partner physical violence by allowing girls to avoid potential violent partnerships, as transfers delayed sexual debut and lowered their number of sexual partners.Non-PRIFPRI1; G Cross-cutting gender theme; CRP2; Cash Transfer and Intimate Partner Violence Research CollaborativePIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM

The event brought together practitioners, researchers, adolescent girls, and representatives of governments and bilateral and multilateral organizations. Evidence on the impact of social protection and cash plus programs was highlighted. A panel of experts shared perspectives on evidence and critical actions needed to empower adolescent girls through cash plus social protection programs. This short report provides a summary of the event\u27s proceedings and key insights and recommendations
Global research into cash transfers to prevent intimate partner violence
No full textWe applaud Merike Blofield and colleagues (January, 2022)1 for highlighting the potential of cash transfer programmes to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the basis of our research in Latin America and other regions, we argue that the potential of cash transfers to reduce IPV is relevant globally. We also note important nuances to the points made by Blofield and colleagues, some of which are particularly relevant for other regions where the prevalence of IPV is highest.PRIFPRI3; CRP2; 5 Strengthening Institutions and Governance; G Cross-cutting gender theme; Cash Transfer and Intimate Partner Violence Research Collaborative; ISIPHND; PIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM

Cash transfers and intimate partner violence: A research view on design and implementation for risk mitigation and prevention
No full textCash transfers are a widely used form of social protection, providing effective and efficient ways to reduce poverty and support well-being. Evidence suggests that cash transfers can reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) across a wide range of programs and contexts, yet there is little guidance for design or implementation components in cash transfer programs that would maximize these reductions. Based on research into pathways of impact between cash transfers and IPV, this issue brief offers recommendations on cash transfer programming to increase gender-sensitivity and responsiveness to IPV prevention.PRIFPRI1; Cash Transfer and Intimate Partner Violence Research Collaborative; G Cross-cutting gender themePHN
Power, Practice and Potential: Social Protection and Adolescent Girls—Event on the sidelines of CSW68
No full textGirls’ economic wellbeing is critical to their overall wellbeing and safe transitions to adulthood. Social protection can turn the tide for adolescent girls by allowing families to invest in their health and education. There is particular promise in integrated social protection, such as the combination of cash transfers linked to additional services or programming. This event, held on the sidelines of CSW68, featured a presentation of a systematic review on the impact of social protection on adolescent girls, case studies on successful cash-plus programs, and a panel discussion between government representatives, bi-laterals, multi-laterals, and researchers. The event was co-hosted by the Population Council’s GIRL Center, UNICEF, and the Cash Transfer and IPV Research Collaborative
