How can we re-imagine cultural contexts in Nigeria to eliminate the gender divide that exacerbates food insecurity and malnutrition? I am an LLM student in the Faculty of Law at McGill University, and my project at Building 21 explores the impacts of gender inequality on food security, particularly for women who experience risk factors that make them more susceptible to food insecurity. In doing this, I will draw from different cultural practices in Nigeria, and examine their interactions with gender and food insecurity. Through this project, I echo the need for gender-specific measures for achieving the zero hunger sustainable development goal.
