Microcredit has been introduced to rural communities in Bangladesh as a means of economic and social development, but there are increasing doubts about its effectiveness and suggestions that it causes domestic abuse. A review of various studies indicates that microcredit can result in social disruption through exacerbating gender conflict. It is suggested that micro-level study is required before credit is introduced to local communities.
