ACT4FOOD Commemorates International Women’s Day 2025

International Women’s Day (IWD) is commemorated every year on March 8th
Today ACT4FOOD is highlighting the role of women in transforming food systems, by showcasing a few of our youth leaders and alumni who are driving local and global actions to achieve healthy and affordable diets for all.
Despite women playing a key role in ending hunger and malnutrition, women still face challenges such as poor working conditions (in comparison to men), access to land, finance and technology, and discrimination. These short stories not only demonstrate the importance of women in achieving food security, but they are also a call to action for individuals, governments and businesses to empower women by breaking down barriers and pushing for gender parity.
