This learning brief is aimed at both food security and GBV actors, to encourage each group to consider how the IPC may be improved to support attention to GBV as both a driver and an outcome of food insecurity, and also how data collected as part of the IPC can lay the foundation for empowerment work within the food security sector that can reduce both food insecurity and GBV. The learning brief begins with brief summary of the IPC, and then provides a review of some of the key links between gender inequality, food insecurity and GBV, particularly within the household. It goes on to discuss in brief the importance of ensuring a gender analysis is included in the IPC and identifies several tools for supplementing the IPC to consider women’s heightened risk of food insecurity. The learning brief concludes with recommendations for the food security community and the GBV community to take coordinated action to address the two global crises of food insecurity and GBV.
