This paper explores the linkages between the right to livelihood and the right to food from a woman’s perspective. Understanding the conceptual link between these two rights is important in moving forward the comprehension of both. Uncovering the linkages between the right to livelihood and right to food will facilitate a deeper understanding of what the right to livelihood entails, as well as illuminate the core aspects of the right to food. As such, this paper first discusses general understandings of both rights, drawing especially from PWESCR’s experience of working on the right to livelihood. It then examines the conceptual link between the right to livelihood and the right to food.
