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.

Sharing new paper: What do participatory approaches have to offer the measurement of empowerment of women and girls
Colleagues
I’m pleased to share with you a new paper providing insight and guidance on the value of participatory approaches that ground measurement of empowerment in lives and perspectives of women and girls. The paper builds on a recent webinar on measuring empowerment of women and girls for the CGIAR Collaborative Platform for Gender Research.
It also draws on an earlier on-line consultation with this Gender and Evaluation Communityand the Pelican Platform for evidence-based Learning and Communications for... a while back.
A huge thank you to all of you who responded during this consultation. Whilst we were not able to use all the examples provided, your discussions and input really helped to formulate the guidance.
For the link to the paper: please see here: https://www.kit.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/KIT-Working-Paper_fin...
For a link to the webinar, see: https://gender.cgiar.org/webinar-measuring-empowerment-women-girls/
Thank you again to all of you and great that we have such a platform to reach out.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for posting these resources. I haven't been able to access the webinar. After entering the password the page never loads. Is there any other way to access the recording?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Shawna

Thanks Julie for sharing this publication. Congratulations!
I am a facilitator of participatory approach in research and evaluation. One aspect I reflect on is the idea of ownership. who 'owns' the process? For eg who is collecting data for whom?
Would love to hear your views on this.
