Why empower women?
- 100 150 million more people would be fed if women had access to the same resources as men.
- Women make up 50 percent of the global population and 40 percent of the global workforce. Yet women only own 1 percent of the world’s wealth.
- 55% of the progress in the fight against hunger during the past 25 years comes from improvements to the social situation of women.
