Bonus: International Day for Rural Women
Manage episode 445264997 series 2966694
Stuart and William are today marking the International Day for Rural Women 2024, with this bonus episode of The People’s Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast.
Rural women account for about 22% of the global population. They play an important role in the health and wellbeing of their communities. Rural women can face challenges like higher rates of poverty (as both extreme and multidimensional poverty are higher in rural areas globally), as well as unequal access to education, health and other social services, and employment opportunities. Rural women can also experience gender inequality resulting from discriminatory social institutions, formal and informal laws, social norms and practices. Challenges can be even greater for rural Indigenous women and girls.
