In the last five years, migration throughout Central America has soared. Families flee violence from drug cartels and gangs, worsening economic inequalities, gender-based violence, government instability, and natural disasters. They travel north in the hope of finding safety for their children and starting a new life elsewhere. https://bit.ly/3Y7GbM4

In the 2023 Gender Parity report by the World Economic Forum, the gender gap currently stands at 68.4% and it is estimated that it will take 169 years for the Economic and Opportunity access gender gap to be closed. For us to fast track our progress towards achieving the Sustainable development goals, it js imperative that women are empowered to make their own contribution and be the champions of the change they seek to achieve. Last week, Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA in partnership with The Institute for Social Transformation launched the African Union Empowering Women in Agriculture (EWA) program Uganda chapter. The EWA program is aimed at addressing the multitude of challenges faced by women in the agricultural sector. Its main objectives are land reforms, leadership, access to inputs and mechanization plus advocacy/policy support. EWA is currently being implemented in 10 countries including Liberia, Tanzania, Malawi, Nigeria. The program is currently led by H.E Olusegun Obasanjo, former president of Nigeria; H.E Ellen Sirleaf Johnson, former president of Liberia; HE Joyce Banda, former president of Malawi; H.E Mme. Bineta Diop African Union Special Envoy of Peace and Security who officiated the launch of the EWA Uganda chapter. Key to note, EWA will be running a campaign of retiring the hoe to the museum.

“My name is Aisha. I am 27 years old. On 7 October 2023, my life changed forever.” Aisha's story is based on the testimonies of pregnant women helped by Action Against Hunger in Gaza. Action Against Hunger runs nutrition programs for pregnant women, community kitchens and mobile clinics that provide basic care to women like Aisha. We are also providing hygiene kits, access to clean water, and items such as blankets and warm clothes. Action Against Hunger has managed to help more than 900,000 people since the start of the war in October 2023.

Refugees are not just numbers - they are mothers, fathers, and children. Since conflict broke out in Sudan last April, more than 8.8 million people have had to flee their homes. In search of safety, many families have been forced to make the long trek to neighboring countries, like Chad and South Sudan. When they arrive, they are often malnourished, distressed, ill, and injured. Action Against Hunger is working to support refugees displaced by the conflict, by providing vital nutrition and healthcare.
