Women typically carry the brunt of the malnutrition burden. They are the main caretakers of households, farms, and communities, yet often eat last and least. Closing the #GlobalNutritionGap is a #GenderEquality issue. #March4Nutrition#CSW68

A triple threat in women worldwide:
🩸 Anaemia = 571 Million
🔻 Underweight = 154 Million
🔺 Overweight = 548 Millon
Poorer regions & disadvantaged adolescents bear the brunt of undernutrition and anaemia and the #GenderNutritionGap is growing.

Rwanda is the highest-scoring African country in closing the gender gap with Namibia a close second. Hosting @WomenDeliver in Kigali was the perfect choice and I am grateful to my sister and friend, @FirstLadyRwanda, and @RwandaGov, for the invitation and exceptional hospitality.
15 years after he launched The Elders, Nelson Mandela’s mandate, vision and values continue to drive our work.
The better world he imagined is possible. But we must work together, aware of our shared humanity, to create it: https://t.co/3Dqr6Tb8K5

Malnutrition is one of the world’s most serious but least-addressed development challenges.
Its human and economic costs are enormous, falling hardest on the poor, women, and children.
This is a crisis we can tackle! #InvestInNutrition#N4G2021 https://t.co/e2jBVS3Uor

Great to see the scorecard. Education leaders must address girls' nutrition in schools to achieve equity. The #gendernutritiongap means that girls are not able to concentrate at school. It causes a 10% reduction in lifetime earnings. #closethegap#WD2023
