Women's Resistance against Authoritarianism in Brazil, the Philippines, and Rojava (Northern Syria)
Daryl L. Leyesa
In 2018, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW 62) "reaffirm[ed] the right to food and recogniz[ed] the crucial contributions of rural women to local and national economies and to food production and to achieve food security and improved nutrition, in particular in poor and vulnerable households". UN CSW 62 further called on States "to strengthen and build the resilience and adaptive capacity of all rural women and girls to respond to and recover from economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters, humanitarian emergencies and the adverse impacts of climate change".
