DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/62/136)\n\n\n\n	Achieving gender equality and empo
	wering women is not only the right thing to do but is a critical ingredien
	t in the fight against extreme poverty\, hunger and malnutrition.\n\n\n\n	
	Giving women the same opportunities as men could rise agricultural product
	ion by 2.5 to 4 per cent in the poorest regions and the number of malnouri
	shed people could be reduced by 12 to 17 percent.\n\n\n\n	Yet they face si
	gnificant discrimination when it comes to land and livestock ownership\, e
	qual pay\, participation in decision-making entities\, and access to resou
	rces\, credit and markets.\n\n\n\n	In addition to this background\, the wa
	r in Ukraine has had a devastating impact not just on Ukrainian women\, bu
	t on women and girls worldwide\, especially rural women.\n\n\n\n	According
	 to the latest UN Women report\, the current disruption to the food and en
	ergy markets has only intensified gender disparities\, causing rates of fo
	od insecurity\, malnutrition\, and energy poverty.\n\n\n\n	The ensuing cos
	t-of-living crisis has acutely threatened women’s livelihoods\, health\,
	 and well-being. It has been propelled by the war’s disruptions of oil a
	nd gas supplies and staple food commodities\, alongside the skyrocketing f
	ood\, fuel\, and fertilizer prices.\n\n\n\n	Alarming increases in gender-b
	ased violence\, transactional sex for food and survival\, child marriage (
	with girls forced to leave school)\, and women’s and girls’ unpaid car
	e and domestic workloads are further endangering women’s and girls’ ph
	ysical and mental health.\n\n\n\n	This International Day\, under the theme
	 \"Rural women confront the global cost-of-living crisis\"\, let’s recog
	nize the work of these heroines in the food systems of the world\, and let
	's claim rural areas with equal opportunities for all.\n\n
