Designing for gender equity
More educated
women…
…are more likely to
educate their own
children,
particularly girls
…are more likely to
seek medical health
services
…tend to have
fewer, but
healthier, children
Women with access
to extension
services, credit, and
land ownership…
…are more likely
than men to use
income to feed, and
provide health care
for, their children
…will achieve higher
yields (FAO estimates
20–30% higher)
…are more likely to
adopt new
technologies and
approaches
If we can release
women from unpaid
drudgery …
…they will have more
time to learn
…and more time to
devote to the next
generation
