Microcredit has shown mixed results when used to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV). This study explored microcredit and IPV in Bangladesh by conducting 12 focus groups with married men and women. Participants described challenges to microcredit participation highlighting “missed opportunities” for reducing IPV, including needs to (a) prevent violence sparked by loan disputes, (b) incorporate skill development to improve women’s agency as a means of reducing IPV, and (c) mindfully engage men in the loan process to help address men’s unequal gender ideologies. These modifications to microcredit programs are proposed to maximize positive change on gender and IPV.

Methodology: The study was conducted among 300 consenting married men between the ages of 18 and 65 years in Osogbo metropolis. A multistage sampling technique was used. A questionnaire designed based on literature searches and also adapted from conflicts tactics scale was self-administered by the respondents. Data was entered into the computer and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Frequency distribution tables, charts and graphs were generated from variables while cross tabulation and test statistics were done where applicable. Chi square was used to compare rates, ratios and proportions while fisher’s exact test was used when cells had expected values less than 5. Logistic regression was used to avoid confounding effects. Level of significance was set with P-value less than .05. Results: Majority of the respondents was currently in a monogamous relationship, employed and earns more than 1800 Naira minimum wage. More than half of the respondents had tertiary education and of Christian religion. The mean age of the respondents was 41.92±10.10 years. The prevalence of intimate partner violence was 31%, psychological abuse was 29.3%, physical abuse 14.7% while sexual abuse was 17%. The association between age of respondents, age of respondents’ wives, income less than wives’ and intimate partner violence was found to be statistically significant. Those whose wives were employed were 4.713 times more likely to have IPV and those who earn less than their wives’ were 2.442 times more likely to have IPV. Conclusion: The prevalence of IPV was found to be high among married men. The results of this study have shown the burden of intimate partner violence among married men.
