Also available in:
No results found.The eradication of hunger and poverty largely depend on how people, communities and others gain access to land. The livelihoods of many, particularly the rural poor including women, are based on secure and equitable access to and control over land and other natural resources. Land is a source of food and shelter; the basis for social, cultural and religious practices; and a central factor in economic growth. However, women who on average comprise 43 percent of the agricultural labour force in de veloping countries and are heavily involved in food and cash crops production have less access than men to productive resources -

ProjectFactsheetEmpowering Rural Women: Combating Gender Inequality in Agriculture - FMM/GLO/138/MUL 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Rural women, who make up a significant proportion of the world's poorest, face compounded challenges due to gender-based discrimination. Particularly, in Africa and Asia, women disproportionately bear the burden of food insecurity and have limited access to resources, services and opportunities, a situation further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prioritizing gender equality in agriculture is essential to effectively address these challenges. Key barriers are faced by rural women at various levels, including the policy, institutional and community levels. Additionally, socio-cultural norms perpetuate gender inequalities by restricting women's mobility and economic opportunities. Recognizing the need to challenge these norms and address the barriers to unleash the economic potential of rural women, the subprogramme focused on expanding women’s socio-economic opportunities by combining gender responsive and transformative interventions in four countries that exhibit pronounced gender inequalities in agriculture: Cambodia, Kenya, Senegal and Uganda. In addition, the gender transformative approach of the Dimitra Clubs (DCs) was integrated in 62 projects of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in ten additional Least Developed Countries. -
