Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.
In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.
Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.
The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

Event Description
Hi everyone! I'm running my ethical (i.e. feminist!) AI training again in case anyone is interested! This is specifically for professionals who work in gender and social inclusion and want an introduction to machine learning and social inequalities!
Learn the basics, gain skills, and build confidence to engage in social impact projects with machine learning components. If you work in gender & social inclusion support, proposal development, program design, backstopping, and other non-technical areas, this training is for you. In this 5-day interactive online course, we will learn how machine learning algorithms operate, review development use cases, and explore challenges around bias, ethics, and inclusion. We will finish with best practices and examples of harnessing the power of machine learning for gender equity and social inclusion. This course will empower you to represent gender equality, social inclusion, diversity, and equity concerns and propose solutions in machine learning discussions in your organization.
Check out the full details at Cynara Ethical AI!
Session 1: Intro to AI, inequalities, and machine learning models
Session 2: The digital divide and data inequalities
Session 3: Fairness and bias metrics and ethics statements
Session 4: Moving to practice
Session 5: Toward Ethical AI in Practice
Note to participants: (1) no statistics required! We will work from conceptual and layperson understandings and (2) we will use examples from data-rich U.S. to understand ethical concerns before applying these to international development and social sector cases.
