Effect of physical mobility, decision making and economic empowerment on gender-based violence among married youth in India-SAWERA project.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPreventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV) is both a human rights imperative and a multifaceted economic issue. GBV can also act as a barrier to economic empowerment. The aim of the study was to examine the association between women's empowerment (physical mobility, decision making and economic resources) and GBV among married youth in India.
methodsCommunity based cross-sectional study was conducted among married youth in the age group of 15-24 years, in two selected districts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, India. The data was collected from 578 youth. Pre-validated scales were used to assess women's empowerment indicators (physical mobility, decision making and economic resources). The outcomes assessed were scales on physical and sexual violence. Multivariate regression models examined associations between women's empowerment, spousal characteristics, socio-economic status and demographics.
resultsThe overall results of the study found that restricted physical mobility had a negative association with sexual violence [AOR: 0.49; CI 0.26-0.92]. Women with no decision-making power had higher odds of physical violence [AOR: 2.12; CI 0.01-4.43] and sexual violence [AOR: 1.96; CI 1.02-3.77]. Having no economic resources had a negative association with sexual violence [AOR: 0.19; CI 0.09-0.39]. Women going through spousal controlling behavior had a higher likelihood of physical [AOR: 3.79; CI 1.75-8.19] and sexual violence [AOR: 4.03; CI 2.09-7.79]. It was also found that married women from rural areas and other ethnic backgrounds had higher odds of physical violence.
conclusionThere is a crucial need to work towards women's empowerment, with progressive gender roles such as greater decision-making, physical mobility and economic resources to reduce GBV. An established method that has worked in various contexts is adopting gender transformative approaches that involve men.
