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.

Announcing the Gujarat State Chapter of ECOI (Evaluation Community of India)
Dear All,
I am Maulik, and I am the founder of Trestle Research and Consulting firm (trestle.co.in) and based out of Gujarat (India). We help the researchers and the social organizations by bridging the technological gaps for collecting high-quality data and better evaluation of their social programs. We also support the India operations of SurveyCTO (the leading mobile data collection platform for researchers and professionals working in offline settings).
I am a member of the Evaluation Community of India (ECOI), and we are excited to announce that we are initiating the Gujarat State Chapter. The main goal of the state chapter is to regularly meet and make a network of the local evaluation/development professionals in the state and to share their M&E learnings and journey.
If you are based in Gujarat (India) or nearby state and interested in joining the Gujarat state chapter then, please drop me a mail at maulik@trestle.co.in. If you are not an ECOI member, then you can fill up the attached (below) membership form along with its fees and become a member today.
Looking forward to meeting you! Thanks!
Best,
Maulik
