Project Results:

1. Evolving nature of the human rights system and development of the Right to adequate food

2. Two structural disconnects The right to adequate food (ICESCR), and women‘s rights (CEDAW) -

separate legal obligations, institutional organization, research agendas

Non-integrated foci on

Agriculture/food production vs. nutrition/public health

Neglect of consumption and cultural aspects of nutrition

Violence (direct/aggressive to structural) under-examined and often invisible* barrier to women’s right to adequate food (* See also FAO 2011, Schäfer 2012, World Bank/FAO/IFAD 2009)

Prevents participation of women as autonomous members of efforts to address hunger and food insecurity

Participation can increase or initiate violence against women (partner, family, employer, community, society…)

Address malnutrition a) across life cycles as life-long human rights deprivation – not only as function of nutrition or in pregnancy and infancy; b) as inter-generational causality of hunger, poverty, growth failure.

Support local and sustainable interventions: breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, reproductive rights & health

Avoid nutrition interventions that: a) have built-in conflicts of interests, b) prioritize short-term, medicalized and non-sustainable solutions, c) threaten women’s and communities’ right to dignity and self-determination.

Project Results: 4. Intertwined subjectivities of maternal-child health and nutrition

Emphasize more localized and sustainable food and nutrition systems with agro-ecological approaches, supporting smaller-scaled farmers

Democratize food governance at diverse scales

Support local knowledge (cf.: IAASTD; FAO Right to Food Guidelines; food sovereignty movement)

Mainstream gender in all above, recognizing barriers women face (triple burden); empowerment strategies instrumentalise women

Integrate men, address masculinities, transformative gender approach

Project Results: 5. Sustainable food systems, gender & participation

Rights-based approach most potent tool to promote a more precise diagnosis of the root causes of inequities

Integrate gender & women‘s rights, nutrition and food sovereignty into Right to Food

Participatory, social movement-led reconceptualization to avoid artificial fragmentation of conceptual, legal and institutional frameworks and associated ineffective policies against hunger and malnutrition

Strengthen rights holders to hold states accountable

Project Results: 6. Expanded conceptual framework for the right to adequate food and nutrition

Way forward?

Knowledge Production/Research:

Cross-sectoral: production and application (e.g. advocacy)

Apply RtAFN framework, mixed methods, related frameworks

Curriculum Development: maximize integration with CSOs/social movements & public sector –we are still learning!

Right to Food impact often limited, despite legal obligations

Promote rights-based vs. needs-based approach

Crucial role of CSOs and human rights institutions: raising awareness, public pressure on governments

IFAD’s position on women’s rights vs. empowerment?
