Introductory video

The video Promoting Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment through Responsible Investment in Training by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations shows women involved in agriculture in Sierra Leone. However, there are women in similar situations in all developing countries. The women’s inequality affects their capacity to produce food and achieve their full potential. The FAO is working with these women to strengthen their capacities by advocating for:

• women’s involvement in decision-making related to responsible investments in agriculture
• gender-responsive policies, laws and incentives
• organisations to improve services and work towards empowering women and to promote gender equality
