To build the resilience of rural households, experts have long promoted savings as a means of ensuring women's control over income and fostering empowerment, particularly at the household level. While global advocacy emphasizes micro-credit as a tool for women's economic empowerment, evidence suggests that in patriarchal communities, it can sometimes have counterproductive effects, such as increasing Intimate Partner Violence.
