Filter by:The main objective of this study is to understand the links and outcomes of adoption of a cleaner cookstove/fuel and exposure to a personal empowerment training on women's health outcomes in a Congolese refugee camp in Rwanda, with a focus on gender-based violence (GBV).
This study is nested within the ongoing DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, and Safe) initiative in Siaya County, Kenya. It will test a pilot intervention that will address barriers to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and adherence in adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to reduce their risk to HIV acquisition, with a focus on barriers stemming from male partners and gender-based violence.
The proposed project seeks to implement a cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) to measure the impact of increasing women´s incomes and providing gender equality trainings on women´s empowerment and risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Colombia. This project will be the first in Latin America to evaluate rigorously the impact of a marketing intervention, alone and combined with IPV prevention training. The knowledge generated from this evaluation has the potential to identify the most effective solutions to empower women, as well as to drive transformative change in current approaches to reduce IPV and promote gender equality in highly vulnerable populations in Colombia, and worldwide.
A growing body of research indicates that gender-based violence (GBV) is a major global public health challenge. Yet, there is a dearth of evidence to guide program planning and policy-making efforts to reduce GBV. Our study will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential effectiveness of an innovative women's empowerment intervention to reduce GBV and related adverse health outcomes. It is expected that the study findings will provide evidence to determine if a phase 3 effectiveness trial is merited and advance the science underlying GBV prevention.
The IMAGE Study is a cluster randomised trial of a structural intervention for the prevention of HIV and gender based violence being conducted in South Africa.
