Gender disparities significantly impact nutrition outcomes, food security, and health equity, particularly for women and adolescent girls. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by malnutrition and food insecurity due to cultural norms, economic barriers, and unequal resource distribution. 

 
Gender mainstreaming is important, especially in maternal and adolescent nutrition, which is critical for breaking the cycle of malnutrition and improving long-term public health and economic outcomes. Gender-sensitive policies lead to more effective, sustainable food security interventions by addressing the unique needs of men, women, and children.

Gender mainstreaming in nutrition and food security ensures that policies, programs, and interventions are equitable, inclusive, and effective for all, especially women, adolescent girls, and other marginalized groups.

Women play a crucial role in food production, household nutrition, and caregiving, yet they face systemic barriers to food access, resource control, and decision-making that impact nutrition outcomes at the individual, household, and community levels.
