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.

Evaluation in Conflict & Fragility - What works, what doesn’t & what do we need more of?
By Rania Fazah
During one of my interviews (meetings) with a woman volunteer in Nigeria active in deradicalization programs, a woman mid-40s wearing the traditional outfit, covering herself from head to toe with a colorful pattern! My assumption when I met her, this is a happy woman! (in conflict contexts don’t assume peace fighters are happy). I asked her what was her motivation to join the program to deradicalize youth? Why she chose to get involved with the “BOKO Haram” men. She looked me in the eye and said: “I did not choose them, they chose me! They took my baby and my man! They won the minds and hearts of both my kid and husband and recruited them… I lost 2 men to them, and I want them back. I am bedfellows with Boko Haram!” She continued to say “I was nobody, I suffered stigma and exclusion for being a mom of a dead Boko Haram fighter, a widow of a Book Haram fighter no one would talk to me, no one would even sell me rice! But I know why my son went, and why my man went? They wanted to be seen! I want to be seen also… I want to be heard! This program did not only deradicalized 23 young men; it revived my soul and made me visible!”
