By understanding and reducing food loss and waste, we can tackle its impacts on climate change, economic downfall and global issues of food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition. #FoodLoss #FoodWaste @FAO #FLWDay #FoodForAll

Rural Women around the world face similar challenges—from accessing education and safe local transport to healthcare and social protection systems. Amplifying the voices of rural women is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. #GlobalGoals #SDG @TheGlobalGoals

Every day, #ruralwomen contribute to food security and environmental protection, but many of their activities are not counted as economic activities, leading to a global #gender pay gap of around 20%. On this #EqualPayDay, #PARM stands for #EqualPay to empower women in the agricultural sector and improve their livelihoods. You can consult our resources on gender 👉🏽p4arm.org/?s=gender

Did you know that 36% of agrifood workers in the world are women? Yet, #RuralWomen earn nearly 20% less than men and have reduced access to land, credit, technology and information. This has to change. #LetsGrowEquality #YearOfTheWomanFarmer #EqualPayDay

Key take away from the presentation of role plays by the survivors and caregivers. 📌It is important to be quick to report cases of violence against women and girls to the concerned authorities like police in order not to distort the evidence available.

Just launched! Our new 2024 Gender Snapshot report with @‌UNDESA underscores the global failure to achieve #GenderEquality, while noting progress in areas like education and women’s representation. Get the latest #GenderData: unwo.men/Axmm50Tolxf

To address systemic issues, we must see systematic change 🌏 Development projects which empower rural women in their local communities can only succeed when local, national, and international processes recognise the human rights and needs of rural women #InvestInRuralWomen

Feeling inspired by our #LeadershipForEquality podcast with @UNESCO? You'll like this episode of the #FarmsFoodFuture podcast by @IFAD for more trailblazing stories on closing the gender gap in rural communities 🎧 ifad.org/en/web/latest/…

With their work, skills and knowledge, rural women contribute to the resilience of their communities every day. #InvestInRuralWomen, invest in a brighter future for all. Via @IFAD

Across the world, 765 million adults do not have basic literacy skills – and two-thirds of this number are women, and it can exacerbate the challenges they face later in life. By investing in #Education, we’re seeking to change this reality for #RuralWomen #LiteracyDay

Louder for the people in the back:

When you join ACWW, you're joining a #GlobalNetwork that connects the voices of #rural women worldwide 🤝We're working to ensure the experiences and voice of rural women are acknowledged by national and #international policy-makers and legislators acww.org.uk/why-join-acww%…

Let women be. Let women speak up. Let women express themselves. Let women lead. Let women decide. Let women control their bodies. LET WOMEN LIVE.

ACWW exists to mobilise rural women to be leaders in their communities, producing resources that can be used to educate at a grassroots level 🌱 Our projects are a great example of recent work we've supported so far: acww.org.uk/projects

"We will not rest until every Rural Woman feels she can walk unafraid – to school, to work, to the destination of her choice, and at her own pace. Nor until every Rural Woman feels empowered to use her own voice and speak her truth to power" - Magdie de Kock, ACWW World President

The South Pacific Area conference of ACWW will be a week of celebrating #RuralWomen in Action and our work across the area. We're looking forward to welcoming everyone joining us on 8–12 September for this special event to learn and share with our #SouthPacific communities!
