Summary

This study tests whether combining a community-mobilisation program (SASA! Together) with a women's economic empowerment program (Moyo Olemekeza) can reduce intimate partner violence in Malawi. About 1700 women aged 18-49 in food-insecure households will take part. The goal is to see if these programs, used together, lower physical, sexual, emotional, and economic violence from partners.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Community-mobilisation and economic empowerment programs (SASA! Together and Moyo Olemekeza)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that combining community action with women's economic support reduces intimate partner violence and improves earnings in Malawi.
What could go wrong: This is a large trial, but results may not apply to other settings. The programs require community buy-in and may not work everywhere. Violence reduction is hard to measure and sustain.
