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.

Feminist Storytelling in Evaluation: Seeking practitioners for an exchange
Dear colleagues,
I’m reaching out to connect with fellow evaluation practitioners who have experience using feminist storytelling as a core evaluation methodology. As part of my master’s research, and more importantly, as part of a shared learning initiative, I want to see if there is interest in convening a small, time-bound peer learning space focused on this emerging methodology.
The idea is to bring together a group of practitioners over the next 3–4 months in 3 online peer exchanges to
- Present and reflect on your experience applying feminist storytelling in evaluation (challenges, innovations, lessons)
- Exchange ideas and strategies with others working in similar or diverse contexts
- Contribute to a collectively developed, self-published practice note that documents insights from the sessions, with full acknowledgment of all participants (unless anonymity is preferred)
This will function as a mini-community of practice, grounded in reflection, curiosity, and shared commitment to feminist principles in evaluation.
Participation is entirely flexible—whether you’d like to:
- Present in a peer session,
- Join as a discussant/listener,
- Connect in a 1:1 conversation instead
- Refer people you think might be interested in participating in this initiative!
I hope this can offer a space to strengthen connections and visibility around this important work. If you’re interested in joining or want to hear more, please feel free to reply directly to this message or email me at carter.alexandra@hotmail.com
Best,
Alex Carter

Hi Alex,
It sounds interesting! Although I had an experience with Afro women just for 6 months, I would love to participate in this.
let me know if you still are looking for someone.
Have a great day
