2. Women invest their extra income in their children - their education, their nutrition and their health - creating a brighter future for their family and their community.
3. Women need our help! Women make up the majority of the world' poor.
4. Women often have less personal autonomy, fewer resources and limited decision-making power, both within their family and in their community.
5. Women need the knowledge, skills and confidence to pursue economic opportunities.
6. Women's needs and potential contributions are often overlooked in development work.
7. Women farmers can increase yields 20-30%, raising total agricultural output and reducing the number of hungry people in the world. They just need the same access to resources.
