International Day of Rural Women

The International Day of Rural Women, observed annually on the 15th of October, is a United Nations day dedicated to recognising the vital role that rural women play in food production, agriculture, and sustainable development. Rural women are often the backbone of their communities, contributing significantly to agricultural economies while also managing households and ensuring food security. This day highlights the need to support rural women by providing access to education, healthcare, technology, and economic resources.

The International Day of Rural Women also focuses on gender equality in rural areas and the need to empower women by addressing the challenges they face, including limited access to land, financial services, and decision-making processes. By supporting rural women, communities can enhance food security, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
