Rights of rural women 2016, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [Right to participate in and benefit from rural development (art. 14, para. 2 (a))] Rural women must be regarded as drivers of sustainable development. Notwithstanding the vital role of rural women in agriculture and rural development, policies and initiatives are often not gender-responsive and rural women often do not benefit from enabling frameworks. The rights of rural women are also often not taken into consideration in disarmament, demobilization and reintegration efforts in conflict and post-conflict environments.
