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.

Non-discriminatory policy or guidelines for the inclusion of LGBTQ int the workforce
Dear all,
I'd like to hear from you that if there any non-discriminatory policy on LGBTQ community entering into the workforce. Like many countries, in our context, due to socio-cultural factors, opportunities to openly discuss the subject of sexual orientation and sexual identity are limited. Therefore appreciate sharing your work experience and knowledge on this subject.
many thanks
