The International Day of Rural Women is observed annually on October 15 to honor the significant contribution of rural women in agriculture and natural resource management. The theme for 2023 is "Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All," highlighting the role of rural women, including indigenous and tribal women, who make up over 40% of agricultural labor in developing nations. However, rural women receive disproportionate payment compared to men and urban women, and many girls from poor communities face limited education opportunities and early marriages. The day aims to raise awareness and support for rural women's livelihoods and rights.
