"Recent UN data on food insecurity paints a bleak picture of a growing
international problem: global hunger is not only growing but it
disproportionately affects women. Similarly, the international humanitarian aid
organisation, CARE, estimates that 150 million more women than men went hungry
in 2021.
Despite gains in global food security since 2015, food security has gone
backwards, with an increase of 150 million people experiencing hunger since
2019.
The UN reports that globally, 2.3 billion people were food insecure in 2021
with 276 million (12%) facing severe food insecurity. This rapid and sustained
increase in hunger over a short time is highly concerning. So too, is the
growing gender gap, with 32% of women compared to 27.5% of men going hungry."
