Rural women play a critical role in the rural economies of both developed and developing countries. Women in rural areas, whose survival depends mainly on natural resources and agriculture, make up more than a quarter of the world's population. In developing countries, rural women constitute nearly 43 percent of the total workforce in agriculture. They produce and process most of the available food, which has the primary responsibility for food safety.
Bearing in mind that 76 percent of the extremely poor live in rural areas, secured access to productive agricultural resources to women in the village contributes to reducing global hunger and poverty, which rural women receive key to the success of the new Agenda for sustainable development by 2030.
After the preparatory phase in October 2016 the International Conference “Women in Rural Areas and Cross-Border Cooperation” – towards the celebration of the International Women’s Day, will be held on the 6th of March 2017 in Novi Sad. The conference will highlight the challenges and opportunities facing rural women and their roles in decision-making processes and give the answer to the question: How can rural women empower themselves to increase their participation in social and political institutions?
Furthermore, the Working Group on Empowering Rural Women will work on the creation of the sustainable project to empower and support the women in rural areas and help them to overcome everyday problems that they face.
