Consider This
- Women perform 68% of the world's work
- Provide 50% of the world's food
- Earn 10% of the world's income
- Own 1% of the world's land
Also consider:
- 40% of the women of the world are illiterate
- 70% of the world's poorest people are women
- 70-80% of the refugees of the world are women
- 62 million girls are denied an education all over the world
- Two out of every three poor adults are women
- In the richest country of the world (USA) the poorest are women with children
- In war-ravaged nations around the world, rape is a recognized tool of war, intended to terrorize the population, destroy communities, infect with HIV and in some instances used to change the ethnic make-up of the next generation.
Yet these very same women, when healed, taught and trained become:
- Entrepreneurial Businesswomen
- Community Leaders
- Nuturing Mentors
- Ministers
- Teachers
- Government Leaders
