We should prioritize food security for vulnerable groups so they are given a chance to reach similar heights as the competitors in Paris this week. Either by making food security programmes more inclusive, or by specifically targeting most vulnerables in food security programmes.

We are Able! celebrates the achievements of #Paralympics athletes and wishes the best of luck to those yet to compete. We are inspired by the paths many athletes have taken, overcoming significant barriers to shine on the world stage through determination and discipline.

Performances at the Paralympic Games result from extensive preparation, where nutrition is crucial. To compete at the highest level, top-quality nutrition is essential. However, food insecurity is high among persons with disabilities in Africa, limiting their potential.

Therefore, we call upon policy stakeholders to include women with disabilities in food security programmes, ensure access to land for women with disabilities, and offer them a seat at the table in decision making in policies pertaining to food security and agriculture.

Today is International Women’s Day! We are Able! celebrates the women in our lives, on the personal level but also in society as a whole. #InspireInclusion, the theme of IWD, is of course highly relevant for our programme, and today we share our message: https://t.co/yQG8qNDoJI

[We are Able! @weare_able]

Women play an essential part in the food chain in the six countries of We are Able. At the same time, their crucial role is overlooked too often. We should recognize the stigmatization that women face, especially if they have a disability. This increases their food insecurity.
