Online misogyny against female candidates in the 2022 Brazilian elections
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence has become a global threat to women’s political representation and democracy. Understanding how online hate affects its targets is thus paramount. We analyze 10 million Tweets directed at female candidates in the Brazilian election in 2022 and examine their reactions to online misogyny. Using a self-trained machine learning classifier to detect Portuguese misogynistic Tweets and a quantitative analysis…
The role of gender in early childcare practices in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Gender disparities in early childcare practices impede gender equality and create long-lasting barriers to girls' health, well-being, and future opportunities. Through this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to quantitatively synthesise evidence on gender disparities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across the World Health Organization's five components of nurturing care: breastfeeding, immunisation, prenatal che…
Economic Abuse in Low and Middle-Income Countries
Economic abuse (EA) comprises behaviors that impact an individual’s ability to acquire, use, or maintain economic resources, threatening their financial security and well-being. While research on EA has increased in the last two decades, most studies have been conducted in high-income countries with little evidence on how EA manifests in different sociocultural contexts. This mixed-methods scoping review provides an overview of the state of knowl…

How do gender transformative interventions reduce adolescent pregnancy in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Adolescent pregnancy poses a significant health challenge for girls aged 15-19 in low- and middle-income countries. While gender transformative interventions (GTIs) aim to address this issue, a substantial research gap exists concerning the underlying mechanisms contributing to their success. This study employs a realist synthesis approach to systematically investigate how, why, for whom, and in what contexts GTIs effectively reduce a…
What Works in Reducing Economic Violence Against Women
Economic violence against women includes control and exploitation of economic resources, employment sabotage, and partners’ refusal to contribute to household necessities. This form of intimate partner violence threatens women’s economic welfare, independence, and health. Despite its significance, evidence on effective prevention strategies remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate global experimental evidence on interven…
Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence Against Politically Active Women
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence presents critical challenges for politically active women, whose professional roles often expose them to elevated levels of online abuse with far-reaching impacts on their emotional well-being, professional engagement, and participation in public life. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 48 studies employing qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research to examine the psychological…

Pedalling Progress? Assessing the Long-Term Impact of a Bicycle Intervention on Adolescent Maternal and Child Health in Zambia
This study evaluates the long-term impact of a gender-transformative intervention that provided bicycles to adolescent girls in rural Zambia to enhance school attendance and empowerment. Implemented in 2017 across 100 schools, the intervention aimed to reduce travel barriers and improve educational access. Using an experimental design with a final sample of 1615 adolescent girls (676 treatment, 939 control) in 92 school clusters, we estimate the …

Covid-19 pandemic, losses of livelihoods and uneven recovery in Pune, India
This study examines the patterns of losses in livelihoods, income and consumption expenditure among slum dwellers in Pune, a city in western India, two years after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. A four-round panel dataset is used for this study with two rounds collected before (in-person in 2018 and 2019) and two rounds collected after (via phone interviews in 2020 and 2022) the start of the pandemic. Although at the macro-level gross dom…
‘We don’t get money in our own hands’
INTRODUCTION: Violence against women is a serious human rights violation. While much attention has been given to the prevalence and prevention of physical, sexual and emotional violence, one crucial dimension is to date less well understood: economic abuse against women. This paper presents rich qualitative data on economic abuse against women in India to improve the understanding of economic abuse in a lower-middle income setting and to assess h…
Introduction to the Special Issue
The article introduces the special issue on 'The First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany'. Besides a brief description and analysis of COVID-19 management in Germany in the first year of the pandemic from an international comparative perspective, it provides insight into the question of how the COVID-19 Pandemic was analysed in political science research. Finally, it gives an overview of the contributions of the special issue that focus on…
The Effect of Female Economic Empowerment Interventions on the Risk of Intimate Partner Violence
Women’s economic empowerment is an essential component of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Not only is it an end in itself but it has further been promoted for its potential to create positive externalities, including the reduction of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, the link between economic empowerment and the risk of IPV remains theoretically ambiguous. Marital dependency theory predicts that women with more financial…
A systematic review on ethical challenges of ‘field’ research in low-income and middle-income countries
The Impact of Immediate Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy on Patients' Healthcare Expenditures
Immediate initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV has important health benefits but implications for the economic aspects of patients' lives are still largely unknown. This stepped-wedge cluster-randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the causal impact of immediate ART initiation on patients' healthcare expenditures in Eswatini. Fourteen healthcare facilities were randomly assigned to transition at one of …
Opening the Black Box
We use a mixed-methods approach to open the ‘black box’ of a combined financial literacy and parenting intervention (‘Parenting for Lifelong Health’) to elucidate the key mechanisms through which changes in financial behaviour are realised. Drawing on qualitative data from 16 focus groups and 42 in-depth interviews, we find evidence for three pathways of change. Higher financial skills and, linked to this, higher financial confidence, a more opti…

The effects of decentralising antiretroviral therapy care delivery on health outcomes for adolescents and young adults in low- and middle-income countries
Do no harm? Field research in the Global South
The rise of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to rigorously evaluate development policy is characterized by a wide range of ethical complexities. While the literature has identified ethical challenges pertaining to study participants, we argue that the principle of “do no harm” should equally apply to research staff. Based on an ongoing systematic review and interviews with research staff at different hierarchical levels and world regions, we i…
Spoilers of peace
This study investigates how deployment of pro-government militias (PGMs) as counterinsurgents affects the risk of conflict recurrence. Militiamen derive material and non-material benefits from fighting in armed conflicts. Since these will likely have diminished after the conflict's termination, militiamen develop a strong incentive to spoil post-conflict peace. Members of pro-government militias are particularly disadvantaged in post-conflict con…
Parenting for Lifelong Health
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of 'Parenting for Lifelong Health: Sinovuyo Teen', a parenting programme for adolescents in low-income and middle-income countries, on abuse and parenting practices. DESIGN: Pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING: 40 villages/urban sites (clusters) in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa. PARTICIPANTS: 552 families reporting conflict with their adolescents (aged 10-18). INTERVENTION: Intervention…
Do saving promotion interventions increase household savings, consumption, and investments in Sub-Saharan Africa? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Too good to be true? United Nations peacebuilding and the democratization of war-torn states
This article examines the effectiveness of UN peacebuilding missions in democratizing war-torn states, emphasizing those missions that include democracy promotion components in their mandates. Based on a multinominal logistic regression, we reveal that democratization is significantly more likely if a UN peacebuilding mission is deployed. Furthermore, regimes categorized as more liberal at the outset have an increased risk of revealing antidemocr…

Relationships between poverty and Aids Illness in South Africa
The association between poverty and HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa remains contested. A better understanding of the relationship between the prevalence of poverty and the disease is essential for addressing prevention, treatment, and care. The present study interrogates this relationship, using a cross-sectional survey of 2477 households in urban and rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Structural equation modelling was employed to estimate the cor…
