FORUM: "Rural women rise and claim your right to Sustainable Development." International Day of Rural Women 2022.
Globally, with few exceptions, every gender and development indicator for which data are available reveals that rural women fare worse than rural men and urban women and that they disproportionately experience poverty, exclusion, and the effects of climate change. Training equips them with the skills to pursue new livelihoods and adapt technology to their needs. Follow the conversation with the hastags: #15October, #RuralWomen, #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen.
EVENTS: On October 15th, we celebrate the International Day of Rural Women 2022 under the theme "Rural women rise and claim your right to Sustainable Development." The UN- Women, IFPRI, FAO, IFAD, ILO and the Women's World Summit Foundation (WWSF) support the leadership and participation of rural women in shaping laws, strategies, policies, and programmes on all issues that affect their lives.
It is well recognized that rural women are the backbone of rural economies. They carry essential roles in food production and nutrition, but remain disproportionately affected by poverty, inequality, exclusion and the effects of climate change. This needs to be changed to allow women and girls to fully realize their social and economic potential.
This year, on 15 October 2022, let us remind ourselves of the crucial role that women play in our food systems and the importance of eliminating the gender gap in agriculture.
Let us celebrate the rural women who bring their experience from the field and who dedicate their expertise to improving the conditions of female smallholders. Let us celebrate Kyuwon, Yunga, Yonnelle, Carine, Ayantu, Assiyatou, Efosi, Lyna, Marthe and many others who support and empower the pillars our food systems: rural women.
CAMPAIGN: Enhancing Rural women skills, leadership and resilience.
From Tanzania to Argentina, North Macedonia to India, RuralWomen are building their resilience, skills and leadership.
