Summary Introduction
Introduction:
World’s poorest poor are usually women and children. Many societies around the world undervalue females, providing girls with poorer diets, less or no education, and fewer opportunities than boys. Malnourished girls become a malnourished mother who gives birth to low-birthweight infants, so the cycle of malnutrition, hunger, and poverty continues. These, in turn, increases the mortality of children from starvation and related illness.
