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.

Request for evaluations on SABLA

Dear Friends,

I am exploring the possibility of doing a meta evaluation on SABLA, Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Empowerment of Adolescent Girls (RGSEAG) and was looking for evaluations on it. SABLA is a centrally sponsored program of Government of India initiated on April 1, 2011 under Ministry of Women and Child Development that covers adolescent girls 11-18 years.

I would appreciate information on where to access the SABLA evaluation reports. Please do share links to any such reports.  I am aware that some of the evaluations may not be in the public domain and would be happy to communicate with organizations willing to share their reports. 

 

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you,

Sonal Zaveri, PhD
