Abstract

Hidden hunger, characterized by a deficiency of essential micronutrients, remains a critical public health concern in Southeast Asia, particularly among indigenous women. This research delves into the pervasive issue of food insecurity and malnutrition in this demographic and seeks sustainable strategies to mitigate its effects. The study begins by examining the underlying causes of hidden hunger among indigenous women, encompassing socioeconomic disparities, limited access to nutritious foods, and traditional dietary practices. It sheds light on the disproportionate impact on their health and overall well-being, including the intergenerational consequences of maternal malnutrition. The research explores multifaceted approaches to achieve food security in response to these challenges. It highlights the importance of community-based interventions, such as agricultural diversification, nutritional education, and women's empowerment initiatives. Additionally, it advocates for policy changes that promote indigenous land rights and equitable access to resources. By addressing hidden hunger among indigenous women, this study aims to contribute to achieving food security and improved well-being for all in Southeast Asia.
