RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools
This synthesis draws on evidence from 17 humanitarian evaluations across diverse crisis settings. It identifies key feminist evaluation innovations across four domains - design, methods, analysis, and ethics - illustrating how feminist principles can be embedded throughout the evaluation process. It also surfaces broader shifts required at policy, institutional, and practice levels to realise the transformative potential of feminist approaches in humanitarian contexts.
The toolkit translates these insights into applied guidance for evaluators and organisations. It provides step-by-step support across the full evaluation cycle, including planning, design, methods, analysis, ethics, and dissemination. Drawing on global feminist evaluation practice, humanitarian guidance, and gender evaluation standards, it includes adaptable tools, participatory and arts-based methods, guiding questions, and templates for field application.

UTTHAN - Research Report
Traversing the path with women farmers in their fields and in our reflections/writings, a stark observation was the sheer lack of localized and regional vocabulary and terminology to adequately capture and communicate the understanding of climate change and mitigation strategies, informed by the unique experiences and needs of small and marginal women farmers. This is what propelled our research - to examine how women farmers perceive, express, experience, and respond to climate variability across
Our Research Report centres the lived experiences, generational knowledge, and resilience strategies of small and marginal women farmers from the coastal (Bhavnagar) and hilly (Dahod & Panchmahal) regions i.e two contrasting agro-climatic zones of Gujarat. Through their voices, the study reveals exactly how climate change intersects with gender, land rights, labour burdens, and food security.

Research and Training Position
Vacancy: Senior Programme Officer Research and Training
Location: Bangkok, full-time
About us:
The Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) is a progressive think-tank, and cutting-edge Alliance committed to work for changes in the political, economic, social and legal systems and structures which contribute to the persistence of trafficking in persons and other human rights violations in the context of migratory movements for diverse purposes, including security of labour and livelihood.
We promote a human rights approach in working towards our mission to defend the rights and safety of all migrants and their families against the threats of an increasingly globalised and informal labour market.
We have member organisations based in different parts of the world. The International Secretariat (GAATW-IS) is based in Bangkok, Thailand, and has a small and very committed team of people. The GAATW-IS currently works on themes of Access to Justice, Accountability and Power in Migration and Work. We also publish a bi-annual peer reviewed journal, the Anti-Trafficking Review. While member organisations work with women, children and men, GAATW-IS has always focussed on the rights of adult women in the context of labour migration.
For more information, please see: www.gaatw.org
About the Research and Training Programme of GAATW-IS:
GAATW-IS has always had a vibrant Research and Training Programme. All staff carry out some desk research and as they gain experience they also facilitate different kinds of training workshops for members and partners. Additionally, the IS also takes help from external resource persons for some of its research and training work. While much of our work has research and training components, sometimes we also take up projects that focus exclusively on research and/or training. Most of our researches are carried out in conjunction with members and partners. GAATW primarily has employed Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) methodologies, which prioritise women’s lived experiences and spark action for change through collective analysis. Our training workshops have focussed on conceptual clarity on trafficking and forced labour, linkages of trafficking with migration, smuggling, gender and globalisation, safe migration and FPAR methodologies.
Currently, we are nearing the completion of a multi-country research project on sex workers’ rights groups and anti-trafficking initiatives. There are other projects with strong research components. A new multi-country FPAR project will start in a couple of months that will require providing research methodology trainings and on-going support to the partners as well as writing up the research outputs.
The aim of the FPAR project is to create an opportunity for participating NGOs from South and Southeast Asia to understand the issues of gender, mobility, labour, violence and trafficking from the perspectives of migrant women themselves; build a collective analysis of the broader socio-economic and political context and how it affects women’s mobility and complex decision-making processes; and create an evidence base to promote a feminist agenda for safe and secure mobility on the national, regional and international level that works for women.
The research will focus on the factors that shape women’s mobility and migration experiences and the strategies that women use to mitigate them. Based on the learnings from the research, we will prepare briefing papers and other advocacy materials that will be used at national, regional and international forums to advocate for the inclusion of women’s rights and interests in policies that affect their mobility. Partners will identify additional actions on the local level.
What we expect from you:
- Good knowledge and critical understanding of migration and human trafficking and their intersections with gender, class and race in South and Southeast Asia
