Some keywords that are germane to gender equality are consideration, acceptance, empathy and love. In the context of food security and nutrition, gaps need to be filled. Those disadvantaged in terms of production resources and decision on output including nutrition should be deliberately targeted. The vulnerable ones in most societies especially developing nations are usually women and girls. Therefore, the socialization process from the cradle and the value system will have to be sensitized with focus on the keywords for better awareness of gender equality. A lot of achievements have been made which could improve with time.
