Oct 15 : International Day of Rural Women

The International Day of Rural Women was observed across the world on 15 October 2016.
●    The theme for the day for the year 2016 is Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too.
●    The theme tries to bring focus on farmers, fishers and pastoralists who are standing on the frontlines of food insecurity as temperatures rise, weather patterns become less predictable and climate-related disasters become more frequent. 
●    As key actors in food systems, as small-scale farmers and those in charge of ensuring adequate nutrition for families, rural women are at the centre of this challenge.
●    The first International Day of Rural Women was observed on 15 October 2008.
●    The day was established by the General Assembly in its resolution 62/136 of 18 December 2007.
