Step It Up Together with Rural Women to End Hunger and Poverty

This High-Level Event will provide an interactive platform to address the structural causes and consequences of gender inequality in rural areas in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The discussions will seek to: identify the main challenges, gaps, opportunities and collaborative actions for unleashing the potential of rural women and girls to end hunger and poverty; highlight “what needs to be done differently”; and promote partnerships among UN entities, civil society, the private sector and other stakeholders. The event is organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) and the European Commission, in close collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Food Programme (WFP) and UN Women.
