Key Takeaways:

  • The crisis in Sudan is one of the most severe humanitarian crises currently, greatly affecting food security and leading to profound suffering and displacement.
  • Ethiopia's historical and ongoing struggles with enforced migration and its civil conflicts have led to the weaponization of food, severely impacting ethnic populations.
  • The decimation of SNAP benefits in the US highlights domestic food insecurity, emphasizing that hunger is not just a third-world issue.
  • Women's experiences during conflicts reveal brutal realities, making grassroots empowerment, particularly through education, essential for systemic change.
  • Sustained hope and action, rather than resignation, are critical to combatting global genocide and human rights violations; every small action counts.
