Women and men deserve equitable opportunities to achieve a reasonable level of healthy living. However, in developing countries, the interaction of various economic, social, cultural and biological factors deprives women of their rights to decent food, health care services and health information. However, some problems affecting women's health are partly shared by the opposite sex. Insufficient access to nutritious food and resulting malnutrition is perhaps the greatest dilemma for women's health in developing countries. Indeed, undernutrition is the main risk factor for mortality among girls under five, accounting for approximately seven deaths per thousand children in low- and middle-income countries [1]. Rising food prices, climate change, wars and conflicts have caused unprecedented food insecurity in various parts of the developing world [2]. It is estimated that nearly 20% of the population in developing countries is affected by a chronic food deficit [3]. The Global Hunger Index reports that 969 million people live on less than a dollar a day and 923 million people go hungry every day [2]. Although malnutrition is a concern for both sexes, women are more vulnerable due to inequitable access to food based on gender [1]. Women are also more likely to experience the impacts of food insecurity due to their biological role during pregnancy and breastfeeding and the resulting increased nutritional needs. In pregnant women, malnutrition weakens the immune system and homeostatic mechanisms of the body, making them vulnerable to the development of infections and maternal complications such as miscarriage and obstructed labor, in addition to increasing the risk of maternal mortality [4].Continued...... middle of paper ... throughout the ages, neglect of their health needs and concerns has caused them to endure immense suffering. Additionally, women's health is closely linked to the well-being of the next generation of children. Malnourished women are likely to have poor birth outcomes, particularly intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth, and low birth weight infants [4,12]. These infants also have higher neonatal and infant mortality than those born to healthy mothers [4]. The issue of women's health therefore has a huge impact on society as a whole and must be addressed as a priority. The question of to what extent this issue has actually been prioritized remains unanswered. Women deserve equal treatment as their male counterparts to safeguard their fragile existence and give them a fair opportunity to excel in their abilities...
