Abstract | ||||
First-rate nutrition is vital not only for human health but also for national economic and social development. The objective of this review is to assess the realization of the right to adequate food focusing on women and children living in the slums of India. The review categorizes the realization of the right into two classes: the right holders (mothers or caretakers and their children) and duty bearers (peoples/Individuals responsible for providing the necessary facilities as per the rights of the right holders). Conclusions were drawn regarding the following aspects: nutritional status of selected right holders, availability and accessibility of foods, existence of nutritional related health and sanitation facilities and whether appropriate legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks necessary to realize right to food are in place. | ||||
