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.

This looks so interesting - can't wait to read about your study when you're finished! 

All the best for it!

Hi, you may be interested in a paper co-written by myself and Alessandra Galie which develops a new concept of power which we call power through. We also talk about the fieldwork in Syria and Tanzania which led to the development of this concept, as we felt something was missing from the four classic definitions of power. We are about to start to start fieldwork in India to evidence this concept more fully.

Keep us posted on your work!

Best regards CAthy
