In shifting the global burden of stunting and growth retardation, it is important to address determinants such as poor status of women in society, gender disparities, and invest actively in promoting education and economic empowerment of girls, said Professor Zulfiqar A Bhutta from the Aga Khan University and the SickKids Centre for Global Child Health. He was speaking as the lead speaker at a session on stunting at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC.
