Poverty reduction
While poverty is an important barrier to positive health outcomes for both men and women, poverty tends to yield a higher burden on women and girls’ health due to, for example, feeding practices (malnutrition) and use of unsafe cooking fuels (COPD).When families do not have enough food to go around, women are typically the last to eat, consuming smaller amounts in order to feed growing children or spouses.
