Description
Survey data collected in Dar-es-Salaam and Mbeya that investigated women’s experience of physical and sexual partner violence, their financial autonomy, as well decision making and coping strategies. The data was gathered for the purpose of understanding the extent to which women's employment and financial autonomy will influence their risk of violence and the feasibility for them to challenge or leave violent relationships.
Additional information
The study aimed to improve understanding of the relationship between women's employment and risk of intimate partner violence in urban and rural Tanzania, and explore the policy and conceptual implications.

| Description of data capture | Two qualitative data collection methods, In-depth interviews and Focus group discussions were used to collect data in two sites, Dar Es Salaam (DES) and Mbeya, in Tanzania. In each site IDI were conducted with individual men and women and FGD were conducted with group of between 8-10 participants. A purposive sampling strategy was employed to identify men and women in low socioeconomic status groups in the two sites. Female participants were of reproductive age (15-49) engaged in income generating activities and were selected from the market place. A list of markets in the same districts that were sampled for the household survey was drawn up and randomly selected (four markets were randomly selected within each site). Female participants were then randomly selected within the market. Male participants were partnered with women engaged in income generating activities and were selected from areas where poor men work (e.g. construction sites and local transport). In total, IDI was performed with 36 women engaged in income generating activities (20 DES; 16 Mbeya) and 20 men partnered with women engaged in income generating activities (10 DES; 10 Mbeya). In total, 12 FGD were performed with women engaged in income generating activities (6 DES; 6 Mbeya) and 8 with men partnered with women engaged in income generating activities (4 DES; 4 Mbeya) | ||||||||
