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
Dear colleagues,
Asking sensitive questions on surveys is often key to gathering necessary insights on some research topics. Given the nature of these questions, however, respondents may feel uncomfortable and reluctant to respond accurately. To overcome this and ensure quality data, there is a wide range of recommended methods, including self-administered questionnaires. In a recent prevalence study, funded by The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) and implemented by the ICF, researchers used Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) in SurveyCTO to determine the proportion of children (ages 12 – 17) in households who have been sexually exploited for commercial gain in the region of Karamoja, Uganda. ACASI helped to minimize the social desirability bias in the responses provided for these sensitive topics.
Please join us for this live webinar where guest presenters from GFEMS and ICF will share lessons learned from implementing ACASI surveys in modern slavery studies:
Title - Learn how GFEMS and ICF are using Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) in modern slavery studies to reduce social desirability bias
Date - Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at 9 AM EST/ 1 PM UTC
Registration link - https://www.surveycto.com/events/gfems-icf-acasi-webinar/
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Directly from ICF and GFEMS about the process behind their study of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in Karamoja, Uganda
- How to create an Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) module of your own using SurveyCTO
- How to tailor ACASI modules to specific users, like children or people with low technology literacy
- Challenges and lessons ICF and GFEMS experienced while implementing their study in Uganda
Attendees will gain valuable guidance on using ACASI in SurveyCTO for various use cases, and most especially, sensitive survey topics for vulnerable respondents. You can learn more about the GFEMS Uganda project here: https://www.surveycto.com/case-studies/gfems-acasi-survey/
