Safeguarding Women's Rights will Boost Food Security
"[Women] contribute 60-80 per cent of the labour used to produce food both for household consumption and for sale ...women's 'access, control and ownership of land and productive resources are key factors in eradicating hunger and rural poverty'. Yet while land is 'critical for improving women's, social security, livelihoods and their social status', culturally embedded discrimination continues ... It is therefore essential ...for governments to ensure that women's rights are comprehensively addressed." (Quoted from article)
