Saoudé is inspiring women to challenge gender norms and become financially independent
UN Women Statement for the International Day of Rural Women, 15 October 2022
The cost-of-living crisis facing the world is putting women’s livelihoods, health and wellbeing at risk and jeopardizing progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Propelled by disruptions in supplies of oil, gas and staple food commodities linked to the war in Ukraine and the intensifying climate emergency, food, fuel and fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Women and girls face energy poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity as well as related gender-based violence such as sexual exploitation and trafficking, and early, child, and forced marriage.
