Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Gender-Based Violence (GBV) significantly impacts women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who are primary agricultural producers. More research is needed to understand and address GBV in these vital economic roles.
Area Of Science
- Agricultural Economics
- Gender Studies
- Development Studies
Background
- Women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are crucial to subsistence food production and the agricultural economy.
- Gender-Based Violence (GBV) negatively affects women's capacity to contribute economically and socially, undermining their livelihoods.
- Addressing GBV is essential for creating safe, inclusive rural environments where women can fully participate in agriculture.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a scoping review of existing evidence on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) among women primary producers in LMICs.
- To identify research gaps and inform future research priorities concerning GBV in this demographic.
- To explore the extent, nature, and impact of GBV within agricultural contexts in LMICs.
Main Methods
- A comprehensive scoping review of peer-reviewed literature published between January 2012 and June 2022.
- Searches were conducted across major academic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Ebscohost, and Google Scholar.
- Keywords focused on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and women producers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); 49 studies were included after screening.
Main Results
- Five key themes emerged: extent and nature of GBV, impact on agricultural livelihoods, sociocultural factors, aggravating/protective factors, and interventions.
- GBV significantly hinders women's agricultural productivity and economic contributions.
- Under-reporting of GBV remains a substantial challenge, indicating the true extent and nature are not fully understood.
Conclusions
- A significant knowledge gap exists regarding the challenges posed by GBV to women primary producers in LMICs.
- Further research is critically needed to understand the nuanced relationship between GBV and agricultural settings.
- Targeted research is essential to gain deeper insights into the nature and impact of GBV on women producers across diverse regions.

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
Weather and Climate
Weather and climate are related, though they differ in terms of time scale and predictability. Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, whereas climate...
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...
The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:
• Paternalism: Nurses often encounter situations where they must act without patient consent to safeguard their well-being or prevent harm. A common example occurs in cases of...
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.
The coefficient of restitution is a metric for understanding the dynamics of impacts. It quantifies the ratio of relative velocity...
