English: 
Briefly defined, a value chain is the full
range of activities that an organisation carries out
to bring a product or service to their customers
An organisation may have many parts
in their value chain:
inbound raw materials, processing, marketing,
outbound logistics, to name but a few
Some of these parts are contained inside their
organisation and some are contained outside,
divided among other organisations
Inevitably, there will be parts of the value chain
that are valued the least
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world,
women's work still takes place in the least
valued part of the value chain
for example as home-based workers
or informal workers,
where women tend to be underpaid
and their jobs are less secure

Chinese: 
简而言之，价值链是一个组织为给顾客带来 
产品或服务而进行的全部活动。
一个组织在其价值链中可能有许多部分:
原材料进货、加工、营销、
出货物流，等等。
这些部分有些包含在他们的组织内部，有些包含在外部，
并被其他组织分配。
不可避免，在价值链中总会出现
价值最低的部分。
不幸的是，在世界上许多地方，
价值链中价值最低的那部分工作仍然是女性工人在从事，
例如以家庭为基础的工人
或非正式工人，
从事这类工作的女性往往工资偏低，
且工作也不那么安全。

联合国粮食及农业组织(FAO)进行的研究强调，
这一点在农业部门尤其明显.
FAO的研究发现，女性农业工人的生产率
比男性低20%至30%，
但这并不是因为她们经营农场的能力较差
或工作的努力程度较低。
相反，之所以会出现这种差异，是因为男性能够获得
女性农业工人难以获得的资源，
除了其他方面还包含土地使用或所有权、融资、技术和培训。
显然，如果女性能获得与男性相同的资源，
那么女性的粮食产量将增加20%至30%。
生产率的提高对健康和经济的好处是深远的，

English: 
This is particularly evident within the agricultural sector,
as highlighted by research undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations
Research by FAO discovered that female agricultural
workers are 20-30 percent less productive
than their male counterparts
but not because they manage their farms less well
or work less hard
Instead, the difference occurs because men have access to resources
seldom available to female agricultural workers
including, among other things, access or ownership
to land, financing, technology and training
Clearly, if women had access to the same resources that men do,
then women would produce 20-30 percent more food
The health and economic benefits of this rise in productivity would be profound,

English: 
principally because women are more likely to spend their increased income on food and children's needs,
resulting in families and societies as a whole enjoying improved nutrition, health and education
In fact, FAO research has shown that a child's chances of survival increase by 20 percent
when the mother controls the household budget
CEDAW is determined to make change happen
by ensuring both state and non-state actors
such as agricultural corporations and
development agencies are responsible for guaranteeing
women enjoy the same access to resources as men
This includes women's access, 
management and ownership of land,
as well as participating and benefiting from the subsequent stages of food processing,
marketing and sales, which must be combined with protection in the workplace

Chinese: 
主要因为女性更有可能把增加的收入用于食物和儿童的需要，
从而使整个家庭和社会享有更好的营养、保健和教育。
事实上，FAO的研究表明，当母亲控制家庭预算时，
孩子的生存机会将增加20%.
消除对妇女歧视委员会（CEDAW）决心做出改变，通过确保国家和非国家机构，
如农业公司和发展机构，
对保证女性享有与男性同样的资源负责。
这包括女性获得、管理和拥有土地的权利，
以及参与和受益于食品加工、
营销和销售的后续阶段，这些还须与工作场所的防护

English: 
and a decent living wage
Effectively incorporating CEDAW, especially article 14,
into value chain analysis and development
will ensure that the rights of all women are respected, protected, fulfilled and promoted in all spheres,
from producer of agricultural products to the end user as consumers

Chinese: 
和体面的最低生活工资结合起来。
将 ”消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约“（CEDAW），特别是第14条，有效地纳入价值链分析和发展
将确保所有女性的权利在从农产品生产者到作为消费者的最终用户各个领域，
都得到尊重、保护、实现和促进。
