Abstract
The Beijing Platform for Action, a document adopted by nearly 190 participating governments at the Fourth World Conference on Women held in 1995 in Beijing, China, was analyzed for content related to food and nutrition. Words such as “nutrition,” “food,” and “hunger” were found in 6 of the 12 Platform sections on strategic objectives for the world's women. The Platform helps to demonstrate a universal recognition of nutritional concerns as part of necessary programs and actions for progress in girls’ and women's health and development. A call to “eliminate discrimination against girls in health and nutrition” was specifically included as one of the Platform's main strategic objectives. Nutrition educators and others involved in nutrition, health, and sustainable development have an important role to play in monitoring progress toward the achievement of the Beijing Platform's goals.
