This topic is extremely relevant, however it lies enshrouded under other research priorities. In countries like India where patriarchy is the norm, most women homemakers face economic violence, but is undermined and not recognized by other family members or society. Amongst the suggestions provided, education and customer support seem most impactful, however I am curious to understand how BRAC has achieved collaborative financial decision-making among couples, and what are the key drivers especially in middle income couples.
economic violence persists not only in households at the bottom of the pyramid population.
