Workshop on the occasion of International Day for rural womenBrussels, Altiero Spinelli, 3E2
Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality
World Rural Women's Day takes place annually on 15 October. To mark the occasion, a presentation will be made by Parliament's Policy Department on Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs to the Women's Rights Committee after which there will be an opportunity for discussion on the role that women play and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Rural women the world over play a major role in ensuring food security and in the development and stability of the rural areas. Yet, with little or no status, they frequently lack the power to secure land rights or to access vital services such as credit, inputs, extension services , training and education. Their vital contribution to society goes largely unnoticed. World Rural Women's Day aims to change this by bringing rural women out of obscurity at least once a year - to remind society how much they owe to rural women and to give value and credit to their work.
