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.

The Palgrave Handbook of Gender and Development Critical Engagements in Feminist Theory and Practice Edited By Wendy Harcourt is out!
“The Palgrave Handbook on Gender and Development plunges us straight into some of the most disturbing and important issues of our time. Global injustice and violence; the nature of care and love; new forms of power and resistance; the politics of knowledge and the politics of sexuality; survival on an injured planet…. - Raewyn Connell, Professor Emeritus at the University of Sydney “A visionary, and ground-breaking collection that belongs on the bookshelves of everyone concerned with gender justice on a global scale.” - Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Distinguished Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, Syracuse University “This excellent collection is a thought provoking, multifaceted dialogue providing key insights into feminist analyses, strategies and visions that have shaped gender and development discourse.” - Shirin M. Rai, Professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick “This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding gender and development through a critical lens. This collection brings us closer to truly imagining a feminist future.” - Amy Lind, Mary Ellen Heintz, Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies University of Cincinnati About the book The Handbook features feminist scholars and activists of different generations who have critically influenced feminist analyses, strategies and visions in gender and development discourse. The contributions encourage readers to go beyond mainstream development institutional discourse and look at how feminist practice and vision (whether in international relations, political ecology or social movements) shape development policy and studies.
