Unveiling gender-based violence in the context of environmental degradation and climate change: The role of data and storytelling

This webinar was hosted by the Gender Based Violence and Environment Linkages Center (GBV-ENV) under the Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT), a partnership between IUCN and USAID. It included an expert panel discussion on the role of data and storytelling on gender-based violence and environment linkages in strengthening international biodiversity and climate agendas, and presented findings from the 2023 round of applications to the Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge.

Rising against sex-for-fish exploitation in Zambia: Enhancing gender-based violence awareness and prevention in the fisheries sector

Almost universally, this means that women are dependent on fish resources obtained by men for their livelihoods. Unfortunately, as gender-based violence (GBV) is used across environment sectors to assert control over land and natural resources – and can be exacerbated in the context of environmental degradation and climate change – the fisheries sector is no exception. Working together with ActionAid Zambia (AAZ) and its partner, the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is helping address such interlinkages between gender-based violence and the environment through the Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge.
