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
Even today, statistics indicate that one in three women and one in four adolescent girls is likely to experience physical or sexual violence. The lives of girls and women are undermined by violence, harm, neglect, exploitation, and abuse. On the one hand, this is a serious violation of women’s rights, capabilities, and wellbeing and on the other hand, it also
severely undermines women’s freedom and agency. Researchers at UNU-MERIT, studying the role of technology adoption and diffusion, propose that digitalisation can serve both as an enabler of or barrier to violence against women and girls and therefore requires a deeper examination. The internet is an important tool for empowerment, but how powerful can it be
when it isn’t safe or inclusive? What opportunities and threats does
digital inclusion introduce? How can our efforts steer pathways towards safe online and offline spaces?
This International Women’s Day, experts from all over the world will
discuss the paradoxes of online violence and digital inclusion. We invite you to join our participatory webinar, organised by Friend in Need India Trust and SITE4Society at UNU-MERIT.
