A Couple-based Gender-transformative Intervention on IPV Against Infertile Women

"A multidisciplinary team of experts, including 8-10 experts in reproductive medicine, nursing, social work, psychiatry, family law, and evidence-based medicine, will be established to support the development of the intervention.~Five 60-minutes intervention sessions will be delivered by trained nurses and social workers throughout participants' fertility treatment cycle. Intervention will be carried out at the 5 critical windows of opportunity for infertility treatment: (1) before entering the cycle; (2) during follicular monitoring; (3) before oocyte retrieval; and (4) 2 weeks after the embryo transfer; and (5) 28-30 days after the embryo transfer.~The intervention components will equip couples with educational information on health and relationship and skills obtained from interactive activities designed with an explicit focus on challenging gender stereotypes, all of which could incite reflection on sociocultural norms and gender-related power inequality."
