International Women's Day: Advancing Access to Justice for Women Farmers

On 5 March 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00 CET, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), together with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP), will mark International Women’s Day with an event held as part of the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF) 2026.
