Presentation
This Project explores the relation between domestic violence against women and their labor participation, as well as the human capital of their children in countries of Latin America and The Caribbean. To investigate the causal effect of violence the project used the introduction of Emergency Centers for Women in Peru by the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations as a natural experiment.
