Conducting World Food Day Campaign

On October 16, 2024, Magway Region Human Rights Network (MHRN) and its partners organized a World Food Day Awareness Sharing Campaign, attended by 22 participants, including survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). The event focused on raising awareness of food security issues in Myanmar, particularly in conflict-affected and economically unstable regions. 

Participants discussed their personal experiences, highlighting the significance of home gardens for survival, especially in prisons and border areas where access to affordable food is limited. They emphasized the critical role of small gardens and community support in sustaining families during times of crisis. The discussions also addressed the challenges of rising food prices and the lack of access to basic goods, while advocating for stronger local and international efforts to enhance food security through sustainable agricultural practices and community-based initiatives.
