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.

- Dear Yasir,
My name is Amanda Mack and I am a graduate student at the University of Victoria. I am contacting you as I'm conducting research on the Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) and I saw that MEDA has received funds from Canada for initiatives in a number of countries.
I am working on a research project which analyzes evaluations conducted on projects which have been funded under FIAP, such as the one that you have implemented. Specifically, this research project will be attempting to answer the following questions:
1. How are organizations conducting evaluations under the FIAP?
2. Are feminist evaluation principles reflected in the evaluations conducted under the FIAP? If so, how are they being used?
Through this research, the literature on feminist evaluation will be advanced and a critical examination of the FIAP will be completed with the intention of ensuring that FIAP is a useful and meaningful feminist tool in Canada’s international assistance agenda.
As a participant of this research, you would provide access to an evaluation report on the project and a staff member would commit to a 1 hour interview. The interview can be conducted over the telephone or via a teleconference software, as is your preference. Confidentiality will be maintained and this research project has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Board (HREB).
If you would be able to participate in this research project, please let me know and we can schedule a quick call to discuss any questions you may have. Your participation is greatly valued.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Amanda Mack
