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.

Hi Catherine,
I did a long term project -baseline and endline with Participatory action research on topic of evaluation. it was with sex workers in India and Cambodia for IDRC. Here is the link https://idl-bnc-idrc.dspacedirect.org/bitstream/handle/10625/49837/...
We focused on measuring shift in advocacy strategies from reactive to proactive strategies
with a potential impact on the lives and wellbeing of 70,000 sex workers.
Transformation in human rights documentation processes carried out by partners
which included evidence gathering and analysis on violence against sex-workers and
visualisations of this evidence.
Growth in knowledge of the importance of effective information management in
digital documentation.
Insight into community-owned and aggregated data given a growing, global
movement towards open data for accountability and transparency.
Development of integrated self-evaluation tools which will continue to be used by
partners.
Contribution to the scholarship on on violence against sex-workers and advocacy for
their human rights.
