Women's Day 2000 Press Conference
World Food Programme and the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) jointly organized a press conference on 1 March 2000. The conference focused on "Gender and WFP". A special pamphlet was issued highlighting the theme. At the press conference
Mr. Pedro Medrano, WFP Representative & Regional Manager (South Asia
Cluster) highlighted WFP's commitments towards women. He observed that women
are the centre of household food security and therefore when we target women
with food aid, we inevitably build household food security. The press conference resulted in an overwhelming media response. Some of the attending media were NDTV, Doordarshan, Times of India, Hindustan Times, Sunday Observer and Frontline. Click here to see photographs of the conference
