The conference will be held on October 18, 2011, Tuesday, from 1 P.M. to 6 P.M. at Balay Kalinaw, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City.

With the theme “Voices of Women who feed the world, The Situation of the Right to Food in the Philippines” the conference aims to present a picture of the actual condition of women peasants, indigenous peoples, fisherfolk and urban poor. Specifically, it aims to highlight the significant role and contributions of women as well as the problems and challenges confronting them in food security systems in both rural and urban settings. It also seeks the government’s response as the primary duty bearer in ensuring that the right to food of women are respected, protected and fulfilled.
