Happy International Women's Day, one and all!

In honour of the day, we're delighted to share with you a project that the Misfit​ team has been working on over the past few months with an incredible charity called Seva Canada.

Seva pioneered the first research on gender inequity in the treatment of blindness, which identified that over two thirds of the world’s blind were women and girls. Today, they launch their Equal Right to Sight campaign to help ensure women and girls have the access to eye care that they need and deserve.

Head to http://equalrighttosight.com for a very special experience, and to learn more about how you can help.

Two-thirds of the world's blind are women and girls, a fact that was discovered by Seva Canada’s research. Join us in our movement for gender equity within eye care.

Chefs are at the heart of the global food system. By transforming raw ingredients into nutritious, delicious meals, they bridge the gap between farm and fork - influencing what we grow, what we put on our plates and how we think and talk about food.

Do you believe in a better future for food? A future where ingredients are grown with respect for the environment, where farmers are paid a fair wage and where everyone, everywhere enjoys the nutritious meals they need to grow and thrive?

The good news is that, through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations has set out a roadmap to achieving this vision – and all 193 countries are on-board.

But tackling food system challenges - such as undernutrition, food waste and soil degradation - is hugely complex. Success relies on everyone rolling up their sleeves, coming to the table and working together to reconsider the way we grow, buy, share and think about food.

To this end, our friends at the Advocacy Hub invite you to help them create a Chefs’ Manifesto – a simple, statement of intent outlining how actions by professional chefs, home cooks and foodies can contribute towards a more sustainable food system: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ChefManifesto
