Abstract

Highlights from this paper:

  • Many women in Bangladesh face both food insecurity and domestic violence;

  • We should not presume that, in these situations, all women are agentless.

  • The author find some rural Bangladeshi women navigate these complex relationships.

  • Women may eat less or lower quality foods to avoid violence, or vice versa.

  • Understanding why some women are food insecure can improve policy responses.
