Structural, process and result indicators were established, as process indicators based on those established in the Protocol of San Salvador, for monitoring the right to food in Venezuela, under the cross-cutting principle of equality and non-discrimination: gender justice . When determining structural indicators, it was established that in Venezuela the right to adequate food is not contemplated, under an express declaration in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and / or the Laws established for that purpose, and its express declaration must be established under the legal order of the country, as well as its relationship with populations in vulnerable situations, taking into account the right to food and the population with gender justice. The indicators of established processes determined, a high statistical opacity in official and governmental institutions regarding the scope of the establishment of the so-called social missions and food aid programs, as well as the disaggregated scope of the programs by traditionally excluded groups, such as the gender justice approach. When determining results indicators, the existence of statistics on the malnutrition rate in general or for different population sectors (boys, girls, youth, women, older adults, people with disabilities, ethnic groups) based on the Global Malnutrition Rate, was not evidenced in the official portals of the State entities. The application of these indicators determined the non-compliance by the state with the guarantee of a right to adequate food, requiring a profound structural and process transformation, under the premise of human rights, in order to establish a significant and necessary improvement in the results indicators, as well as generating solutions to transform gender inequalities, given the growing trend of the establishment of a feminization of poverty in Venezuela.
