Message on the International Day of Rural Women 国际农村妇女日致辞 15 October 2016 2016年10月15日 Rural women make up nearly half the agricultural labour force around the world. They grow, process and prepare much of our food. They are the backbone of rural communities, and in many households they have the key responsibility for food security, education opportunities and healthcare. 农村妇女几乎占世界农业劳动力的一半。她们为我们种植、加工和烹制大量食物。她们是农村社区的支柱，而且在许多家庭，她们负有粮食安全、教育机会和医疗保健的主要责任。 But the effects of climate change and environmental degradation are forcing many rural women to migrate, increasing instability for their families and communities and creating an obstacle to development and growth. 但是，气候变化和环境退化的影响正迫使许多农村妇女迁徙他乡，加剧了各自家庭和社区的不稳定状况，对发展和增长形成障碍。 Natural disasters, together with recurrent slow-onset crises like drought, affect rural women disproportionately, adding to the challenges they already face in accessing food, healthcare, education and information. 自然灾害与干旱等经常性缓发危机相互叠加，对农村妇女产生了过于严重的影响，加剧了她们已在获取粮食、医疗保健、教育和信息方面所面临的挑战。 |
