Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 84 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Starvation in a world in which food is plentiful is a form of violence inflicted on the body - both physically and mentally. Many studies recognize the discrimination inherent in starvation, which affects the world's women and girls at a disproportionately higher level than men and boys. The human right to food still faces important challenges, as starvation continues to exist throughout the world. | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 60 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Lack of women's perspective in policymaking on agriculture, water and food management, despite their being key actors in these areas, results in misinformed decision-making and jeopardizes women's rights further.

Integrating a gender perspective in the right to food 2016, para. 70 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Crop failure caused by slow-onset disasters such as land degradation and drought has resulted in the increase of men's out-migration in developing world.

This increases women's work, but does not grant women equal access to financial, technological, and social resources to lessen the burden. | Special Rapporteur on the right to food | Special Procedures' report |

Right to food and nutrition 2016, para. 10 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Women are more vulnerable to malnutrition than men because of different physiological requirements. Although women require 35 per cent less dietary energy per day than men, they need at least the same amount of nutrients. Consequently, a woman's ideal diet contains significantly more nutrients than those of a male counterpart. | Special Rapporteur on the right to food | Special Procedures' report |

Women’s right and the right to food 2013, para. 27d | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Women should be involved in the design and evaluation of public works programmes. This could ensure that the right balance is struck between the need for a gender-sensitive approach and the risk of reinforcement of gender stereotyping. It could also help determine the modes of payment, in particular whether payment should be in the form of food or cash. While cash payments leave the beneficiaries greater choice, it may also facilitate the appropriation by men of women's wages, especially if the payment is not deposited electronically into a bank account in the woman's name. Also, cash payment may not be the preferred solution if purchasing food is time-consuming or if markets are unreliable due, for instance, to the lack of stability of supply of certain staple foods or the high volatility of prices in the market. Indeed, women may express a preference for payment in the form of food rations or payment on a daily basis, rather than on a monthly basis, especially if their priority concern is the daily subsistence of their families. Such issues can only be addressed through effective participation of women in the shaping of programmes intended to benefit them. Participation is thus both an end in itself - a source of empowerment - and a means - as it can significantly increase the effectiveness of the programmes and their ability to make a difference to women. | Special Rapporteur on the right to food | Special Procedures' report |
