Recognizes the International Day of Rural Women.

• celebrate rural women as integral members of societies and economies around the world;
• recognize women farmers for their role in feeding their families and fellow countrymen and for their productivity which helps maintain economic stability and stronger democracies;
• ensure rural women have access to the tools and productive resources they need to engage in entrepreneurship; and
• recommit to reducing limitations, breaking down barriers to success, and prioritizing initiatives that wholly support rural women farmers at the local level.
