Women have a pivotal role in all dimensions of food security. These dimensions—the availability, accessibility and utilization of food—intersect and interact with the responsibilities, opportunities and constraints that women face in their households, at work, within their communities and in their influence on decisionmaking. Women, especially poor women, are burdened with responsibilities that stem from their biological and reproductive capacities, such as expectations they will take care of and provide nourishment to household members and contribute to household income.
