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
The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) aims to harvest, analyze and disseminate lessons from the projects it funds in order to build a stronger knowledge base for scaling up global efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls. This Virtual Brownbag Event forms part of continuous UN Trust Fund efforts to share—with partners, EVAW/G practitioners and donors—new evaluation learning, as well as the diversity of content and practice-based knowledge from the civil society organizations it funds.
The event aims to bring together UN Women Colleagues, Civil Society Organizations and Partners to engage with the learning from the recently completed independent, external, meta-analysis of EVAW/G evaluations of 30 projects managed by UN Trust Fund grantees in 26 countries[i] between 2015 and 2019. This 90-minute webinar presentation has three main objectives:
- To share the findings of the meta-analysis of 30 external evaluations of EVAW/G projects supported by the UN Trust Fund in 26 countries globally, focused on what we are learning about the characteristics that determine the effectiveness, sustainability and impact of EVAW/G projects;
- To engage with the practice-based knowledge from the projects, which constitute a valuable resource both for those interested in advancing knowledge in the field of EVAW/G and for practitioners to learn from each other; and
- To offer a contribution to the EVAW/G evidence base with learning from interventions implemented by civil society organizations, especially women’s organizations, at the frontlines of EVAW response and prevention.
You are all invited to this presentation of the Meta-analysis of evaluations managed by UN Trust Fund grantees between 2015 and 2019. The webinar will be on Tuesday, 13 October 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EDT (New York time).
