"Mr President, I would like to focus specifically on women and girls, who suffer more nutritional deficiencies than men for reasons such as women’s reproductive biology, low social status, poverty and lack of education. Although malnutrition’s effects on this group have been recognised for decades, there has been little measurable progress in addressing the specific nutritional problems of women and adolescent girls. Addressing women’s malnutrition has a range of positive effects because healthy women can fulfil their multiple roles more effectively, thereby helping to advance their country’s socio-economic development. Secondly, more consideration should be given to the power of civil society and people—to—people initiatives in making real differences in their communities, such as the World Vision Gicumbi Child Nutrition Centre that I recently visited in Rwanda.
Finally, I want to emphasise the role that education and intercultural dialogue plays as a key tool in development, emphasising and transforming mindsets and addressing key causes of under—nutrition. Fighting against malnutrition requires access to education."@en1
