As we commemorate World Rural Women’s Day on October 15, it is important to recognize and celebrate the contributions of rural women to society. Rural women, despite their indispensable role in agriculture and local food production, face serious challenges. These include landlessness and land grabbing, lack of subsidies and financial resources, social and public services, and technology. Their work often goes unpaid or underpaid, and they are frequently involved in informal sectors with little job security.
