The escalating global hunger crisis is being fueled by a combination of conflict, climate and economic shocks.

This results in close to 350 million people not having enough food to eat across 79 countries, more than double the pre-pandemic number.
Women and children are disproportionately affected by the global hunger crisis, with girls not only eating last and least, but also suffering from the knock-on impacts to their rights in the form of gender-based violence, child marriage and barriers to education.

When children do no have enough to eat they are at risk of severe acute malnutrition, they don’t have the energy to run and play, they have trouble concentrating and learning, their muscles start wasting away and their organs begin to fail. No child should experience this. We need global commitments to stop this hunger crisis in its tracks and save children’s lives.
