• Women receive only 1/10 of the world’s income
  
• Women own less that 1/100 of the world’s property
  
• Women in developing countries are victims of violence in 1/3 of all families
  
• Women Comprise of over 2/3 of the world’s illiterate population
  
• Women and children make up 70% of the world’s poor
