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.

Adolescent-Led Review of the Magic Classroom Project and Community Preschool Playgrounds in Cambodia
UNICEF Cambodia recently completed its first Adolescent-Led Review!
This review looked at Magic Classroom, a health, nutrition as well as on water, sanitation and hygiene, activity that teaches lessons on healthier practices, such as hand washing with soap. It also looked at the community preschool playgrounds.
By engaging groups of 15 to 19-year-old students to perform data collection and analysis, the review was able to gain information and insights that would not have been possible with an external, adult evaluator. For more information on this review and how to engage young people in the evaluation process, check out the attached brief. You can also watch a fan video at the following link:

Hi Erica,
Loved it. I do this kind of work. I had question on the methodology- which stage of evaluation you could not involve the adolescents?
What value did adolescents' participation bring to the evaluation.
Congratulations to all involved,
Rituu
