Gender
Bind / Unfair Share
In Times of
India [ March 08,2011 ], Ms. Rema Nagarajan provides following insights :
Ø Women own 1 per cent of the world’s
wealth, have a 10 per cent share in global income
Ø Women comprise half the world’s
population but occupy just 14 per cent of leadership positions in the private
and public sector
Ø Of the 1.4 billion people living on
less than $ 1 a day, 70 per cent are women and girls
Ø Women do two-thirds of the world’s
work, but earn only 10 percent of the income
Ø Women produce half of the world’s
food, but own just 1 per cent of its land
Ø Of the almost 900 million adults
worldwide who can’t read or write, two-thirds are women
Will
mankind [ on “ Women’s Day “ 2011, should I say, womankind ? ] manage to bridge
this gap by end of 21st Century ?
With
regards

for All = Peace on Earth
