You can change the world in 5 minutes

This year, the world celebrates 100 years of International Women’s Day and while women have come a long way, the facts today remind us that the work must continue.

  • Women work two-thirds of the world’s working hours but earn just 10% of the income.
  • Two-thirds of children denied primary educations are girls.
  • Women own less than 1% of the world’s property.
