Abstract: This 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.
