Women in rural or Indigenous communities in Mexico are particularly vulnerable to hunger and poverty, having little access to education or the digital space. Working within six states, we are working with communities to improve leadership opportunities for women, create safe spaces for young girls to know their rights and make sure that local, nutritious food is grown and shared.
