THE HARD TRUTH<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n
Despite much progress, women and girls are still the most discriminated-against group in<\/p>\n
\u00a0the world.\u00a0 Consider these facts:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Of the 1 billion people living in absolute poverty around the world (unable to secure basic life necessities), 60% are women and girls.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Women contribute 2\/3 of the world\u2019s working hours, yet earn only 10% of the income.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
An extra year of primary school education boosts a girl\u2019s eventual wages by 10-20%. An extra year of secondary school adds 15-25%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
There are 31 million girls of primary school age not in school. Of these, 17 million are expected never to enter school<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Worldwide, nearly 50% of all sexual assaults are against girls aged 15 years or younger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
1 in 3 girls will experience some form of violence in their lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Around the world, 120 million girls under 20 have experienced forced sexual intercourse or some other form of sexual violence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Every year 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders. 80% of the victims are women. 50% of the victims are minors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
1 in 7 girls in the developing world will be married before her 15th birthday.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Every minute of every day a pregnant woman dies from mostly preventable causes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Women earn 79 cents for every dollar earned by a man.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is no community in the world that is untouched by these issues.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to come together and make a difference<\/strong><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
