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.

M&E- just started to step in
Dear Friends,
I am Jaideep Visave from Italy. I am having 9 years of work experience in developing and implementing disaster risk reduction programmes in India and Italy. However, I am not enough experienced in M&E as such. in order to be adept at it, I have joined this discussion group.
I am interested in learning more about M&E specifically in Gender issues. So, I will be very helpful for suggesting the online/face-to-face training courses etc.
I am also thinking to do my PhD in M&E in Gender issues.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,

Hi Jaideep,
On Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST) website under publications you will find resources on gender lens in evaluation. If you look in this platform under blogs and discussions there will be many resources. These will also give you ideas for your Phd. ISST conducts a course on feminist evaluation periodically. We will share on the network when we hold the course.
All the best,
Rituu
