520 _aGender inequality both leads to and is a result of food insecurity. According to estimates women and girls make up 60% of the world chronically hungry and little progress has been made in ensuring the equal right to food for women enshrined in the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. .Women face discrimination both in education and employment opportunities and within the household, where their bargaining power is lower.
