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 lead to
