Thank you Bert and Martin for the info. I was also referring to whether intiatives to provide economic support to women (i.e jobs, credit, skills training etc) and improve their financial position ( thereby lessening economic dependence on the male abuser...a situation that is common in this part of the world), has any appreciable results. The crisis center for women here is trying this approach, but the program is yet too new to be studied for impact.
