Women are the key

The Hunger Project is empowering local people to take effective, sustainable and strategic action.    Addressing issues of health, education, nutrition, food production, income and the empowerment of women, this strategy is combined with initiatives which call upon leadership at all levels of society.

 
At the heart of this approach is the empowerment of women. Women are the key to ending hunger in the developing world. Gender inequality and the subjugation of women is a condition that allows hunger to exist.
Ending this will achieve breakthroughs in ending hunger
