On this International Day of Rural Women, we pay tribute to the magnificent women who fulfil the role of farmer, partner, parent, caregiver, and community pillar (to name but a few). They feed our nation and cultivate good for all. THANK YOU. https://t.co/DYMJ8oCRES

Day of Rural Women highlights the essential role that rural women and girls play in the world's food systems. In the townships, many women's unpaid labour feeds hundreds of families, and this selfless act often goes unnoticed. Thank YOU for all you do! #DayofRuralWomen https://t.co/JB5mzkHiBN
