International Day of Rural Women
The crucial role that women and girls play in ensuring the sustainability of rural households and communities, improving rural livelihoods and overall wellbeing, has been increasingly recognized. Women account for a substantial proportion of the agricultural labour force, including informal work, and perform the bulk of unpaid care and domestic work within families and households in rural areas. They make significant contributions to agricultural production, food security and nutrition, land and natural resource management, and building climate resilience. Even so, women and girls in rural areas suffer disproportionately from multi-dimensional poverty. While extreme poverty has declined globally, the world’s 1 billion people who continue to live in unacceptable conditions of poverty are heavily concentrated in rural areas. Poverty rates in rural areas across most regions are higher than those in urban areas. Yet smallholder agriculture produces nearly 80 per cent of food in Asia and...

Traditions and Opportunities: A Toolkit for GBV Programs to Engage Community Leaders in Humanitarian Settings.
The GBV AOR Community of Practice is pleased to host Micah Williams from the International Medical Corps (IMC) in a webinar to introduce a new resource: Traditions and Opportunities: A Toolkit for GBV Programs to Engage Community Leaders in Humanitarian Settings. GBV programs have long recognized the importance of engaging community leaders as gatekeepers, service providers, and agents of change. Yet, GBV programs have often lacked tailored guidance and support to explore potential areas of community leader engagement and navigate challenges related to this work, including risks of inadvertently reinforcing leadership structures that do not center women and girls. IMC developed this toolkit, with support from the United States Office Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs, to provide GBV practitioners with new ideas, guidance, tools, and resources to meet these challenges, and to safely and effectively engage community leaders to advance GBV prevention and response in humanitarian settings...
