Dear FSN-Moderator
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to contribute.
After reading through the document, I will like the following to be considered:
1. Food security (quality wise). In the rural settings where women and girls take care of the food intake of the households they are prone to non-communicable diseases caused by the non-conventional agricultural chemicals applied by farmers. While we are talking of food security, we should also ask if women and girls are secured in terms of food quality. I have observed that women go in for cheaper foods in the market in order to save up but at the end buy food which is of less quality.
2. Humanitarian organisations that actually help women in a sustainable manner. The Case of the Northern region of Cameroon where the highest malnutrition is reported meanwhile they have land potentials for crops which can provide them a balance diet with a higher tonnage than other parts of Cameroon. But we find humanitarian organisations sharing food items which go a long way to hinder the growth of women as they can remain indoors feeding the kids rather than going entrepreneurial if a different form of help was given. Let the organisations do thorough research for the needs of a locality and provide the index showing how it will empower the women.
Thank you
