This legal note is based on the publication "The protection of the rights of rural women in Latin America and the Caribbean", produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Spanish Agency for Cooperation International for Development (AECID) through the Spanish Cooperation Training Center in La Antigua Guatemala. This is a brief document that addresses the international and regional regulatory framework that establishes the rights of rural women, and the constitutional and legislative advances in the matter achieved in the region. The specific laws approved are presented, as well as examples of laws that protect the right to productive resources and services, and the right to participation of rural women, adopted in various countries of the region. The note highlights the work of the Parliamentary Front against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean (FPH-ALC) – a network of more than 400 legislators supported by FAO, AECID and the Mexican Agency for Cooperation International for Development (AMEXCID) - and the role of national parliaments to advance in the protection of the rights of rural women. It concludes, bringing recommendations for possible actions from the parliamentary sphere to contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 5 (SDG2 and SDG5), and strengthen the effective guarantee of the rights of rural women. -

In 2022, Latin American and Caribbean countries proved that even during one of the most demanding periods in recent history, it is possible to drive better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. The results included in this document are important but partial examples of our work. Despite this complex situation, the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) proved to be up to the task, responding optimally and delivering extraordinary results based on the new FAO strategic framework and the priorities established in early 2022 by the 33 Member States during the 36th FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean held in Quito, Ecuador. This report presents a detailed list of the projects and initiatives carried out in 2022, as well as the documents published during this period based on the four “betters” promoted by FAO, which account for the progress made in our region to achieve better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. -
