Nutrition: an important aspect in women's quality of life

The preamble of the 53rd session of the Commission for Human Rights included the right to an adequate quality of life including nutrition. There has been a long-standing concern of international organizations for the existence of such quality and the possibilities to acquire it. Some bad perinatal results are due to poor and unbalanced diets that may be corrected by nutritional education and social promotion through the analysis of food habits, available food and access to food. The efforts to solve this problem are related to food security and social pressure towards development with justice at the world level.
