International Day of Rural Women 2020
A climate emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic and a global recession are among the crises that have upended the lives of millions of people this year. Rural women are particularly vulnerable to these upheavals, but are at the same time emerging as front-runners and leaders when it comes to building back better. Welcome to the International Day of Rural Women 2020 newsletter.
