This press release was drafted by the Viet Nam National Institute of Nutrition (VDD), SUN Civil Society Network, The Gender Nutrition Gap, The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation; and the Government of Ireland. Hanoi, January 13, 2024 - On the occasion of commemorating the 10th anniversary of joining the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, Viet Nam National Institute of Nutrition was honored to welcome a delegation from 15 countries to learn about nutrition models and share commitments to close the gender nutrition gap for women and girls. The gender nutrition gap is both a complex and simple concept: consider who tends to be the last to eat in a family. Even in normal circumstances, our mothers and grandmothers often sacrifice for us and other family members, taking the less appetizing or smaller portions. Therefore, during food shortages, women and girls may suffer even more,” emphasized Dr. Paul Zambrano, Acting Regional Director, Alive & Thrive East Asia Pacific,
