Policy for Gender Equity in Honduran Agriculture (1999-2015)

The policy was created to contribute to the exercise of womens human rights, creating opportunities for their participation in all links of the sustainable agricultural, livestock, forestry and hydrobiological production chain, with ethnic and cultural relevance, within a framework of equality between men and women, and to promote comprehensive rural development. To achieve this, it seeks to implement the gender approach, promote food and nutritional security, as well as the participation and empowerment of women in rural development, their growth and productive economic development; and the strengthening of the National Rural Extension System.
