Every parent wants the best for their children but poverty, climate change and conflict have devastating consequences which are shaping their lives even before they are born.
The last three years have threatened decades of progress made for women and girls. Their education, income, employment, wellbeing and believe it or not, access to nutritious meals have left them disproportionately impacted. The world hoping from crisis to crisis has created challenging conditions for women and girls to access the diets, services and care they need for good nutrition.
Referred to as the Gender Nutrition Gap, this is how women and girls' unique biological needs, disparities in access to food and services, and harmful social norms impact their health and economic wellbeing.
We can close this gap, but it will require collective action from all of us and the political will. We are supporting a coalition of organisations who are campaigning together to make this a reality. But first we must understand why this is important.
Take the quiz to learn how malnutrition is starving the minds of our future generation and why this will prevent the world from thriving.
