这项研究在厄瓜多尔进行了一项随机实验，提供了证据，说明针对妇女并旨在减少贫困和粮食不安全的现金、代金券和粮食转移是否也会影响亲密伴侣暴力。结果表明，转移使控制行为和身体和/或性暴力减少了6至7个百分点。影响并不因转移方式而异，这证明转移不仅有可能在短期内减少暴力，而且现金转移与实物转移同样有效。
Using a randomized experiment in Ecuador, this study provides evidence on whether cash, vouchers, and food transfers targeted to women and intended to reduce poverty and food insecurity also affected intimate partner violence. Results indicate that transfers reduce controlling behaviors and physical and/or sexual violence by 6 to 7 percentage points. Impacts do not vary by transfer modality, which provides evidence that transfers not only have the potential to decrease violence in the short-term, but also that cash is just as effective as in-kind transfers.
