MSC studied how norms around decision-making impact women’s access to DBT funds. We learned that while most women had agency over their funds, a significant minority give away money to spouses or family members.
A third of female beneficiaries lack control over their household spending.
- Most beneficiaries hand over the DBT funds to their spouse or families
- More than 20% report that someone they know has faced physical or sexual abuse if they do not hand over funds
- In many cases, beneficiaries are coerced or threatened into handing over funds
Watch the video to understand how social norms limit women’s agency over G2P funds.
