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
Social media is a powerful source of information, connectivity, and engagement among diverse audiences. Given the high rate at which social media platforms are being used, it is of increasing relevance to health research. Social media offers platforms for multi-directional communication with possibilities of communication, observation, research and engagement. In addition to these, social media has shown initial signs of being an effective recruitment tool especially for research focused on traditionally hard to reach population groups. Given the convenience, affordability and increasing reach of the medium, the use of social media for research is likely to increase in coming years.
This webinar offers a space to deliberate on some of the key aspects of using social media tools in health research. Our speakers through their experience will help us better understand the potential of the medium and critically think of challenges and role of ethics in using social media for research.
This webinar is a part of the India Alliance-IAVI Scicomm webinar series—a joint effort of Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance and International AIDS Vaccine Initiative to strengthen south-south collaboration and support cross-learning and knowledge exchange between India and Africa.
