- The realization of the human right to adequate food among woman and children living in a slum area of Dinajpur, Bangladesh
Funded by: UGC of Bangladesh, Tk. 2,00000.00 (USD $ 2332.55)
Position: Project Director
Description: To realize the RtF, it is imperative that an assessment of the above indices is carried out. The most significant difference between food access in urban and rural areas is that rural people can often produce their own food, whereas urban people are more dependent on food purchases. This is also supported by Ruel et al. (1998). According to Ruel et al. (1998) people can usually get their food from three main sources; the market, their own production and transfers from various public and private assistance programs. For the urban populations who mainly buy their food, food prices are dependent on a number of factors including market systems linking rural and urban areas. These factors affect availability and access to food by determining costs of the food especially for urban poor living in slums. Examining GC 12 of the ICESCR on RtF, the aspects bellow are significant and thus were assessed in this study: 1. Food availability in the area 2. Food accessibility to households 3. Stability and sustainability of the food supply and access 4. Cultural acceptability of the available food 5. Food hygiene and sanitary measures Field observations and interviews with right holders and duty bearers will be use in assessing indicators on the mentioned issues above.
