    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Executive Director of the United Nations also had various good things to say about the session. She informed the delegates that worldwide, almost one-third of employed women work in the agriculture sector. The House should note that there are 400 million estimated women who are farm workers. These are the people we represent. They mainly work as small-holder farmers in agricultural and informal sectors with little or no social protection and almost nobody notices them. They are without any visibility. She noted that the world eats every day because women toil. Across the world, millions of women and girls in rural areas provide unpaid care in their homes. I have personally been providing unpaid care in my own home and that happens to every woman. She noted that the world eats every day because women toil. She went further and affirmed that the Commission hoped to change that state of affairs and provide more opportunities for women. She also stated that the flagship research on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation and the report prepared for the session showed that women in rural areas were lagging behind on every gender and development indicator for which data was available. While women in many regions constitute up to 60 per cent of the agricultural workforce globally, only 13 per cent of women own land that they work on with power imbalances that deprive them of control over such land and other incomes."
