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.

'No Room for Misinterpretation'
The jurisprudence of the CEDAW committee seem to be the least well known and the least referenced, compared to all of the other committees for the various human rights conventions. I'm determined to change this!
I'm preparing to write some articles which emphasize some key findings and judgements that the committee has made over the years. And where relevant highlight some of its failings.
While I was analysing the cases from the committee, I came across 2 really important rulings that I think should be known much wider. The two cases deal with different situations but both involve women affected by violence, and the completely inadequate response of the justice system to accommodate them. In the first case, Jallow v Bulgaria, CEDAW demands that States must provide proper access to services and the legal system by providing information in other languages and translation/interpretation especially for women who are migrants and affected by domestic violence. In the second case, RPB v Philippines, the State failed to provide proper access to the justice system for a very young women who used sign language and was a survivor of violence.
It struck me that these two important pieces of information, are actually available in only a few languages!. I work across languages every day, and many of the organisations I work with are very organised and prepared when it comes to working in multilingual contexts. Yet these incredibly important statements by the CEDAW committee are known by so few people.
So we're crowdsourcing the translation of two simple sentences - into as many languages as possible! We've received over 30 contributions so far and we'll continue to collect up as many translations as possible to disseminate them widely.

And the document we're collating the translations into is here
