    Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 6 focuses on promoting gender equality and preventing gender-based violence (GBV) in projects supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The standard ensures that FAO projects are designed and implemented in a way that addresses gender disparities and supports the achievement of gender equality goals outlined in FAO’s Policy on Gender Equality. ESS 6 emphasizes the need for gender-responsive project design and implementation, with specific attention to preventing the exacerbation of gender-based inequalities or discrimination, particularly in rural agricultural contexts.The standard provides guidance on how to assess and address gender-related risks, ensuring both women and men have equal access to agricultural resources, services, and decision-making processes. ESS 6 aims to support women’s participation in leadership, enhance their access to productive resources, and reduce their workload burdens. It also includes measures to prevent and respond to GBV, such as sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH), in FAO-supported activities. By embedding gender mainstreaming throughout the project cycle, ESS 6 aims to promote inclusive development while mitigating the risk of reinforcing harmful gender norms and inequities.
