Thank you for raising this important topic. At the World Food Summit in Rome in 1996 I was with 35 women from 29 countries who developed a statement to present to the Summit. Many of the statements that Olisa made reflect how much work needs to be done to raise farm/rural women’s stature worldwide.

Oh, that's right. I recall now how you were so involved in this global initiative! Isn't it absolutely mind-boggling that the food security of our world is hamstrung by gender (patriarchal) attitudes toward women?
