Children who suffer from hunger are more likely to be forced into marriage or child labor as they desperately search for enough food every day. Basic foods such as milk, eggs or chicken should not be considered a luxury and should be available to everyone in order to have a balanced diet.
Plan International emphasizes that “The countries with the greatest food insecurity are also the countries with the greatest gender inequality.”points out Fernando Alvarez, director of the NGO, who explains that almost 30% of women worldwide experience moderate or severe food insecurity.
