Cash transfers in Raqqa Governorate, Syria: changes over time in women’s experiences of violence and wellbeing

Cash and voucher assistance (CVA) has quickly become one of most widely used modalities of aid in humanitarian crises. In humanitarian contexts, cash assistance has been shown to have significant positive impacts on food security and basic needs for households, helping them to withstand conflict-related economic shocks and market fluctuations, and reducing their reliance on negative coping.

The aim of this study was to better understand the influence of conditional cash transfers on protection outcomes for women, including experiences of VAWG and other aspects of women’s wellbeing.
