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.

documentation on effective programmes on education for girls with disabilities

Dear all,

I am doing a desk research on barriers to education for girls with disabilities and any effective programmes and interventions that have addressed or are looking promising in addressing those barriers. This would include interventions on safety and quality education school-retaed GBV, early identification, access to vocational training and transition from primary to secondary; rehabilitation, engagement with families on disabled girls in education etc.

Would any of you have documentation of such experience, or could you point me to anything you have seen, or connect me with anyone who is working on such programmes?

Thank you for your help

Karen

 This upcoming workshop 3/29/17 was just posted by the Alliance for Girls in San Francisco: Building your capacity as an ally for girls with disabilities. Contact Ingrid Tischer at itischer@dredf.org.  

Since 2011, cross–disability advocacy and policy has been her ever–changing but exciting focus at Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF). Because she grew up resisting the idea that disability = charity, the opportunity to be a social justice fundraiser with a disability is as much about upending stereotypes as it is about resource development. As a crip, she wants the members of her traditionally excluded and highly diverse community to be recognized as the contributors they are to a just society.

Her blog Tales From the Crip features disability cultural and political critique, and commentary. Her writing has also appeared in The Progressive, Ragged Edge, off our backs, and other outlets. She holds a Bachelors degree in Philosophy from The American University.

Hi Karen,

I am a consultant on the GEC and we have 3 great projects doing work across these areas, who also all have endline studies out now/ very soon that I am sure you could draw data from. I'd be happy to connect you with them - my email is jessica.mony@sddirect.org.uk. 

Would also love to see the research when you're done!

Jess
