STORYLINE
World-renowned violinist and United Nations Messenger of Peace, Midori, travelled to Viet Nam to meet with and perform for villagers in a remote and poverty-stricken community to raise awareness of the challenges faced by rural women. The UN’s international Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has been working in this area to improve women’s access to markets and increase their incomes.
SOUNDBITE (English) Midori, UN Messenger of Peace and concert violinist:
In the last day and a half I've been visiting some of the project sites of IFAD and as I talked to these women and met the girls and met the community leaders and also looked at some of the sites where the project has really made an impact, and also able to engage myself in cultural exchange where I as a musician can play and share my music and they also share their dance and music, singing and it has been a wonderful cultural exchange really.
As part of her annual outreach tour, Midori and three young musicians visited ethnic minority communities in Tuyen Quang province to participate in a musical exchange programme where local musicians also shared their traditional instruments, music and dances.
SOUNDBITE (Vietnamese) Mai Thi Hue, Peanut Farmer:
When Midori came, I had the chance to listen to her music, which is new to us. I think it is great and interesting. I would love to listen to this type of music more.
Midori met with rural women to learn more about the challenges they face, which include extreme poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition, and the impact the IFAD-supported project has had on their lives and livelihoods.
SOUNDBITE (English) Midori, UN Messenger of Peace and concert violinist:
The confidence and the excitement with which they spoke about what they were doing and what this had enabled, not just themselves, but their children and their community to be able to have. And for some of them also how this has also changed their relationship to their husbands and with their families. It was very very heartwarming and very interesting and extremely important I feel.
Globally, rural women and girls are often more deeply impacted than men and boys by poverty, hunger, malnutrition, food insecurity and global economic crises. They have fewer market opportunities than men, and frequently have weak or non-existent land rights. But it is estimated that women's food production could increase by 20 to 30 per cent if they had the same access to resources and inputs as men.
In Tuyen Quang province, IFAD has supported women's participation in farming groups and has increased their access to financial services, markets and private agribusiness investors. As a result, the number of rural households suffering from food shortages has been reduced by 25 per cent.

Through an exchange of music, Midori and the women of rural Viet Nam have learned about each other and have shared their successes and challenges, opening up a dialogue about the impact of investing in rural women and decreasing gender inequalities.
