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.

Why??
Some of the Indian Females (may be more than I can imagine) already know their Rights. But when it comes to Violence, they keep their mouths shut. Why??? Is it society of whom they are so much afraid of? Or is it their own Families, whom they want to secure and keep away from all the Legal Procedures. But I really wonder, which Families they want to secure??...The Families which are torturing or humiliating them. The Society who is trying to take away their Rights from them. A Family or a Society who always want to neglect Girls and treat them as a 'Burden'. Why, then females have to think for such Societies or Families? Why can't they take a step on their own?...Why do they think that they are so vulnerable that they can't stand and fight for their own Rights??...WHY?????

Dear Charu, your posting is good. in my experience, as am from rural area, most of the women are still not aware of their rights and they bond for the tradition, culture and norms. these are are hurdles for them to raise their voice. i want to quote an example.. how many female can express that their unwillingness to their husband to have sex. unfortunately this picture is too bad with regard to Sexual reproductive health context.

Thanks Mr. Srinagarraju for your reply!
For a moment it could be thought that the females in Rural Areas have no information about their 'rights' but what would you say about the females in Cities?? They are literate and though aware of their Rights. But still they keep their 'Mouth Shut' when it comes to the domestic violence. Or should I say that they accept everything (e.g Sexual Harassment, indifference between her brother and herself etc.) even if its wrong. I know, so many people in my close relation, who are victims of everyday domestic violence. But still they say, its their Family and they can't raise their Voice against their family members, as it would turn as a 'Matter of Shame' not for their family members but for themselves. I really don't understand this criteria of such educated women. And according to my understanding, this 'SILENCE' give the males more Power.

I totally agree with you... we cannot estimate such cases when female facing stigma and discrimination and not reported... i am sure that this situation will not help us to draw any interventions in terms of education, empowerment etc.

Thanks again Mr. Srinagaraju for your very true reply!
You know what, I am writing my Master-Thesis on 'Women's Rights as Human Rights in India' and I keep thinking, what could actually be done to make women empowered, so that they raise their voice against Violence, but somehow I am not able to get to its root-problems/causes and thus, thought to put this query here. The only question that surrounds my mind is 'WHY??'. Why do Women tolerate everything?? Have to really go deep inside to find it out.
