Women’s empowerment. Four dimensions of women’s empowerment will be measured in rounds 3 and 4: group participation, leadership, decision-making and freedom of movement. Group participation and leadership will be measured using modules from the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), which has been tested in South Asia[118]. Decision-making will be measured using questions from the women’s status module of Demographic and Health Surveys. Freedom of movement will be measured using questions from the project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro- WEAI). These measures will be collected for the primary female caregiver of the youngest child under 5, and were selected based on the importance of women’s empowerment for child nutrition[29,119]. Women’s empowerment is conceptualized as both an outcome and a potential mediator along the pathway between the Gram Vikas intervention and child health outcomes. Menstrual hygiene management practices vary worldwide and depend on personal preference, socioeconomic status, local traditions and beliefs, and access to water and sanitation resources[120]. Unhygienic washing practices are common in rural India and among women and girls in lower socioeconomic groups, and may increase risk of urogenital infection[121–123]. However, the link between access to water and sanitation, menstrual hygiene management and urogenital infections has been poorly studied. Household surveys will be administered in round 4 to a randomly selected woman aged 18 or older, in a subset of 800 households, and will capture self-reported urogenital infection, defined as at least one of the following symptoms: 1) abnormal vaginal discharge (unusual texture and color/more abundant than normal), 2) burning or itching in the genitalia, 3) burning or itching when urinating, or 4) genital sores[122].
