Rural Women around the world face similar challenges—from accessing education and safe local transport to healthcare and social protection systems. Amplifying the voices of rural women is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Every day, #ruralwomen contribute to food security and environmental protection, but many of their activities are not counted as economic activities, leading to a global #gender pay gap of around 20%.
On this #EqualPayDay, #PARM stands for #EqualPay to empower women in the agricultural sector and improve their livelihoods.

Did you know that 36% of agrifood workers in the world are women?
Yet, #RuralWomen earn nearly 20% less than men and have reduced access to land, credit, technology and information.
This has to change.

📌It is important to be quick to report cases of violence against women and girls to the concerned authorities like police in order not to distort the evidence available.
Group work on role plays on the following scenarios:
1⃣Interview with a Journalist
2⃣Reporting case to Local Council
3⃣Reporting case to police
4⃣Reporting case to health center
5⃣Sharing incident with close relatives including children

To address systemic issues, we must see systematic change 🌏
Development projects which empower rural women in their local communities can only succeed when local, national, and international processes recognise
the human rights and needs of rural women

Across the world, 765 million adults do not have basic literacy skills – and two-thirds of this number are women, and it can exacerbate the challenges they face later in life.
By investing in #Education, we’re seeking to change this reality for #RuralWomen

"We will not rest until every Rural Woman feels she can walk unafraid – to school, to work, to the destination of her choice, and at her own pace. Nor until every Rural Woman feels empowered to use her own voice and speak her truth to power" - Magdie de Kock, ACWW World President
