International Women's Day

Posted by: Lewis Best (not verified), 7 Mar

Did you know that today is International Womens Day?

Some of the facts:

  • That although women make up half the world's population, they make up 70% of those living in extreme poverty?
  • Women work 2/3rds of the world's working hours, yet only earn 1/10th of the world's income, and only own 1% of the world's property titles
  • 99% of deaths related to childbirth occur in the developing world - most of which are preventable
  • 38% of girls in the developing world are married before the age of 18

Our friend Richard Fleming from the Global Poverty Project has written a great article over at The Punch on International Women's Day called "Why there is no International Man's Day". It's worth checking out and having a read!
