• We will learn about innovative programs that address gender inequality and injustice.
• Presentations on effective local strategies will challenge us in the following areas:

1) Economic participation
Women produce more than half of global food crops; yet, 70% of those living in hunger are women. Women seldom control land or resources. Women's low economic participation worldwide is reflected in wage differentials, higher unemployment rates and glass ceilings.
2) Community leadership and political expression
Around the world, women have unequal access to political participation and community leadership. Of the 200 members of the United Nations, only 10% have female leaders and less than 18% of the world’s parliamentary seats are held by women.
3) Education
Of the world’s children who have no education, 60% are girls. Two-thirds of the world's 780 million illiterate adults are women.
4) Healthcare and safety
200 million of the world’s women lack access to family planning; over 500,000 die annually from complications in pregnancy and childbirth.  Up to 1 billion women now living have been beaten, raped or otherwise abused. In war-torn regions 80% of the refugees are women and children.
