Food Insecurity Among Women

Globally, about 60 percent of people who go hungry are female. Women and girls in the U.S. and around the world are more likely to experience hunger than men. Rates of hunger are even higher for single mothers and women and girls of color.

How Bread Advocates

Bread knows one of the most cost-effective ways to combat global malnutrition is to invest in improving the lives of women farmers. Women produce well over half the global food supply. Studies show that women are more likely to spend additional income on food when their economic circumstances improve.

An Invitation to Advocate Together

Women have been and are actively present and resilient. Discrimination is why women farmers in low-income countries labor with fewer productive resources than their male counterparts. We invite more voices to speak up against gender discrimination and make effective, equitable programs a reality for women.
