Abstract

Women form the majority of the world鈥檚 poor, and their social and economic empowerment is a central tenet of development programming. Violence by an intimate partner (IPV) is prevalent globally, and there are ongoing debates about whether women鈥檚 empowerment increases or reduces women鈥檚 risk of IPV. Our research in Tanzania explored this question in Dar Es Salaam (DES) and Mbeya. Working with the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), the authors conducted a systematic review with detailed analysis of household data on violence, complemented by qualitative interviews with poor women and men.
