Women: The Frontline Against Hunger

. Wednesday, March 10

When food is scarce, women and children suffer the most.

Empowering women can break the cycle of hunger and poverty. WFP distributes food through women as it's the best way to ensure that entire families will eat.

In honor of International Women's Day, March 8, you can send a message of solidarity to women worldwide, here.



Some facts this year:
  • This year, 60% of WFP beneficiaries will be women
  • An extra year of education increases a girl's income by 10-20%
  • Women produce 60 - 80% of food in developing nations
