Working towards a future where women are safe at home
Prevent intimate partner violence before it happens
DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION
Novah, short for No Violence at Home, is committed to preventing intimate partner violence (IPV), or domestic abuse, against women through mass media.
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) refers to harmful behaviors in a relationship, such as physical attacks, sexual coercion, emotional abuse, and controlling actions. Globally, one in four women has experienced IPV, with even higher rates in Africa. Recent academic studies have deemed mass-media interventions to prevent IPV very promising, and we want to be one of the first interventions to evaluate using radio rigorously.
