title = "Violence as an Under-Recognized Barrier to Women{\textquoteright}s Realization of Their Right to Adequate Food and Nutrition: Case Studies From Georgia and South Africa",
abstract = "This article addresses under-acknowledged barriers of structural violence and discrimination that interfere with women{\textquoteright}s capacity to realize their human rights generally, and their right to adequate food and nutrition in particular. Case studies from Georgia and South Africa illustrate the need for a human rights–based approach to food and nutrition security that prioritizes non-discrimination, public participation, and self-determination. These principles are frustrated by different types of structural violence that, if not seriously addressed, pose multiple barriers to women{\textquoteright}s economic, public, and social engagement.",
