The Executive Director of SWIDA Ghana, Hajia Alima Sagito-Saeed delivered a powerful keynote address on transforming the lives of rural women farmers.
Hajia Alima made this delivery at the FAO Subregional Platform on the CFS Voluntary Guidelines for Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment.
She highlighted the daily struggles of women like Amina, whose contributions feed our communities yet remain limited by poor access to land, finance, markets, technology, and decision-making.
She emphasized that when women receive equal rights, resources, and support, they become leaders, entrepreneurs, and catalysts for food security.
Her message was clear: “empowering women farmers is not charity—it is smart economics, justice, and sustainability.”
