The Action Aid’s Report “Her Mile. Women’s Rights and Access to Land. The last stretch of road to eradicate hunger” has been released in English. The report offers a quick but effective overview of the women’s work in the rural world, with a core section on women’s access to and control over land. The report attempts a first analysis of the disaggregated impact on women of the 2008 global food price crisis and the following multilateral and bilateral response, and identifies women’s empowerment - especially on land rights - as the key strategy to tackle food insecurity.
