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.

Workshop on Building Alliances for Gender Transformative Evaluations in India
For a long time, I have been thinking about joining some courses or workshops on Outcome Harvesting, as implementing one to three-year projects it becomes difficult to write about the impact and people tend to hover around activities while reporting. Thus when I came to know about the workshop in New Delhi focused on the Outcome Harvesting by the ISST, I applied quickly and got selected too. When I reached the venue I met one of the CSO heads from Bihar. I told him about the workshop, he said: "oh Evaluation me bhi ab gender chahiye" (roughly translated as oh, gender is needed in evaluations too). It shows the seriousness around efforts required to push gender in evaluations. The resource persons were senior MEL experts, they touched their respectively topic thoroughly. The Bongaigaon case study, which was shared among the participants was written well and I am sure that many people can follow it for their own organization while capturing the change. As a follow up I will explore opportunities for organizing an Evaluation Fest in Raipur organized by different agencies including Oxfam in January or February 2020. Let's hope, we will be able to do it; making people discuss the program evaluations without having any fear.
