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.

Event Description
Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce the second #EvidenceDialogues webinar on Women's economic empowerment and its interactions with social and personal empowerment. As reflected in the SDGs, women's economic empowerment is considered a dominant path to achieving gender equality. However, women’s empowerment is multifaceted and includes personal and social empowerment as well. So, how do these other dimensions of women's empowerment interact with economic empowerment? What is the theory of change that links personal, social, and economic empowerment, and how can it be leveraged to achieve meaningful change? This panel will bring together stakeholders committed to women's economic empowerment to share their experience and learnings
