A systematic review of microfinance interventions and violence against women
Exploring how men and women improve their relationships through participation in Hika, a group-based, couples-focused IPV prevention program in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Group-based IPV prevention programmes use participatory learning to impart new information, encourage critical reflection on gender and power dynamics, and develop new skills. Understanding whether and how these programmes are internalised and acted upon can allow for programme designs to enhance facilitators of positive change, inform efforts to adapt and scale the programme, and understand the potential for sustained change. This paper presents…

Factors Associated with Health Care Provider Attitudes, and Confidence for the Care of Women and Girls Affected by Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting
Background: Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a cultural practice that includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause harm to female genital organs for nonmedical reasons, affecting ∼200 million women and girls globally. Health care providers in the United States often lack confidence to provide appropriate FGM/C-related care, and experience attitudes that may negatively impact quality of care for FGM/C. Methods: We conducted a …
An Integrative Review of Safety Strategies for Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent and a leading source of morbidity and mortality to women worldwide. Safety planning is a cornerstone of harm reduction and violence support in many upper income countries. Far less is known about safety strategies used by women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the IPV support service infrastructure may be more limited. This study aimed to review the literature regarding safety strategi…

Gender-Based Violence Against Transgender People in the United States
Gender-based violence (GBV) is an umbrella term for any harm that is perpetrated against a person’s will and that results from power inequalities based on gender roles. Most global estimates of GBV implicitly refer only to the experiences of cisgender, heterosexually identified women, which often comes at the exclusion of transgender and gender nonconforming (trans) populations. Those who perpetrate violence against trans populations often target…
