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.

I have done three of the online courses, and have learned a lot of new things.  It is a great way t deepen your knowledge about some of the many aspects of evaluation. I particularly enjoyed the gender and equity evaluation. Moving on to the course in Spanish now, to mak sure i have the right terminology there as well. Thanks to the organisers for offering it again! Highly recommend it. Thanks Rituu for posting!
