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.

Local value chains and HIV risk from gender perspective

Event Description
Findings from a qualitative research project primarily designed to explore the relationship between population and mobility found that the risk experienced by study participants was not due to their mobility per se, but to their participation in local value chains (maize, fish, tomatoes). The gendered structure of these value chains, with at least one gendered interface where predominantly men sell to women (or vice versa), creates a situation in which sex occurs under varying degrees of economic and gendered coercion.
Kevin Deane is a lecturer in International Development at the University of Northampton, UK. He completed his PhD in 2013, with fieldwork conducted in Mwanza region, Tanzania. His educational background is in development economics, but his research draws on a range of disciplines including political economy, development studies, economics, public health and epidemiology. His research interests continue to focus on mobility and HIV risk, local value chains, transactional sex and women's economic empowerment in relation to HIV prevention.
