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.

Generation Equality 2026 Financial Commitments Analysis which I co-authored
As the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals approaches, the Generation Equality 2026 Financial Commitments Analysis provides a snapshot of the Generation Equality financing landscape, drawing on the 2025 Financial Survey and previous reporting cycles. It covers $50.3 billion in pledges and $21 billion in reported expenditures, offering insights into financial flows, key challenges in funding distribution, and opportunities to strengthen feminist financing approaches.
🔎 Evidence: what the data show
- Generation Equality remains a powerful multi-stakeholder platform for financing and accountability
- Financing is significant but uneven, with bureaucratic hurdles and rigid funding models limiting impact where it is most needed
- Continued alignment with global frameworks strengthens resilience through partnership and adaptation.
🚀 Recommendations: key priorities moving forward
- Increase direct, flexible and predictable financing
- Strengthen data, monitoring and accountability systems
- Shift power to feminist movements and local actors
- Build resilience to anti-rights backlash
- Reinforce governance, coordination and cross-regional solidarity
- Clarify Generation Equality’s post-2026 roadmap.
A special thank you note to Generation Equality partners who contributed to the 2025 Financial Survey making this analysis possible and helping generate the evidence for organizational learning and better decision making.
