Abstract
The article reports on the starvation felt by some women and children because when men go away, they lock their family's grain storage rooms in Niger. There are reports that it is taboo for women to even look in the family grain storage room. Some men may be calculating that if they do not provide for their families, aid agencies will help with food.
