Women, in particular, are at risk of hunger. They play a key role in agriculture and food security for families, particularly in rural regions of Mali. As the primary keepers of home gardens, they are often responsible for producing, processing and preparing food. They therefore play a central role in eradicating hunger and increasing dietary diversity.
However, women in precarious situations, especially internally displaced persons, often have no access to land due to social, economic and legal barriers. This barrier prevents them from carrying out agricultural activities necessary to meet their own and their families’ food needs.
