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.

How did we facilitate participatory statistics?
I was part of IDS team which facilitated Participatory Statistics to Examine the Impact of Interventions to Eradicate Slavery: Lessons from the Field’. This was for a project funded by Freedom Fund in two states of India - Bihar and UP. The study was with 14 NGO partners of Geneva Global. It was a great learning for me. Hope you like it.

CDI Practice Paper 16
Publisher IDS
It deals with:
- the challenges of estimating changes in the magnitude of various forms of slavery;
- the potential of combining participatory approaches with statistical principles to generate robust data for assessing impact of slavery eradication; and
- the practical and ethical questions in relation to working with people living within a context of modern slavery.
The paper draws lessons from the realities of using participatory statistics to support the evaluation of a slavery eradication programme in North India.

Thanks Rituu for sharing this useful document. I had opportunity of facilitating one session on migration during one learning event of Geneva Global partners. So I had some idea about this initiative. Thanks for adding to my knowledge.
