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.

Dear members, I am looking for a local colleague to team up with me (and a malagasy colleague, already on board), for a "support mission" for the French NGO ATIA, with a field study phase from February to August 22 and a form of backstopping for 12 more months.
The aim of the "support" is to have an external, expert view on gender, to assess the impact of gender stereotypes on the practices of the women supported as well as on the psychosocial support actions and to accompany an evolution of ATIA's action for a better consideration of gender.
The project is situated in Mumbai and adjacent cities, as well as in Jaipur.
The main specific objectives of this support mission are :

- To assess the effects of psychosocial support on these gender inequalities;
- Analyse the tools used to measure women's empowerment and other gender indicators to be integrated into the monitoring of women and their families;
- Propose complementary activities and methodological recommendations to improve the level of decision-making capacity, the empowerment and access to resources of the women supported. Proposals for improving empowerment measurement tools are specifically expected.
- Supporting the implementation of these proposals and recommendations
The Indian expert is expected to have knowledge of the local context and proven experience in :
- Surveys of poor households;
- Qualitative survey methodology;
- Evaluation of development projects in urban areas;
- Multi-actor dynamics and accompaniment (pedagogical dimension);
- Change-oriented approach;
The team should also have a good knowledge and operational experience in the following areas

Finally, in terms of interpersonal skills, the team is expected to have
