(perhaps you would like to add a counter widget to see the spike in web traffic.. ^^ especially for the upcoming International Women’s Day… ^^)

In Times of India [ March 08,2011 ], Ms. Rema Nagarajan provides following insights :

 Women own 1 per cent of the world’s wealth, have a 10 per cent share in global income

 Women comprise half the world’s population but occupy just 14 per cent of leadership positions in the private and public sector

 Of the 1.4 billion people living on less than $ 1 a day, 70 per cent are women and girls

 Women do two-thirds of the world’s work, but earn only 10 percent of the income

 Women produce half of the world’s food, but own just 1 per cent of its land

 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
