This event aims to explore how states, the UN, and women’s organizations and networks can advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in agrifood systems to promote gender-just nutrition and protect reproductive health rights for women and girls. --- Women and girls are among the most affected by malnutrition, with distinct nutritional needs, especially during critical life stages such as adolescence, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause. Their vulnerability is heightened by engagement in physically demanding activities like farming, and compounded by gender-based inequalities, including limited decision-making power, unequal access to resources and healthcare, as well as unpaid care burdens. These challenges highlight the crucial need to address the interconnectedness of malnutrition, gender inequality, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH). In this context, the UN Rome-based Agencies – FAO, IFAD, and WFP – in partnership with UNFPA, will co-host a side event to raise awareness, share good practices, and showcase solutions for integrating gender and nutrition.
