2. ”If rural women had equal access to productive
resources, agricultural yields would rise by 4 per cent, strengthening
food and nutrition security and relieving as many as 150 million
people from hunger. Rural women, if given the chance, could also
help end the hidden development tragedy of stunting, which affects
almost 200 million children worldwide” - UN Secretary General Ban
Ki-Moon
