Empowering women in #nutrition is key to breaking the cycle of malnutrition. In Ethiopia, Aberu is teaching her family and peers how better nutrition can impact their future.

We are far from achieving #SDG2 (eliminating hunger) and projections show approximately 600M people will be undernourished in 2030.
The global health community has a role to play in strengthening #foodsecurity.
