Women face many challenges globally, including:
Gender inequality
Women earn 23% less than men on average, and spend three times as much time on unpaid domestic work. Women are also less likely to have bank accounts and are underserved by women-owned businesses.
Sexual violence
Women are overwhelmingly affected by sexual violence and harassment, which can include physical conduct, advances, and inappropriate language.
Environmental impact
Rural women are often responsible for collecting fuel and water, and are more likely to rely on natural resources from forests.
Access to contraception
In 2021, 9% of women of childbearing age had unmet needs for contraception.
Access to clean water
Rural areas have less access to clean or improved water sources than urban areas.
Poverty
The COVID-19 pandemic and conflicts have increased the number of people in severe poverty, and women and girls are disproportionately affected.
Some organizations working to promote women's rights include:
UN Women
Promotes women's rights, documents women's lives, and shapes global standards on gender equality
Global Fund for Women
Supports gender equality and shifts power to those working at the frontlines of gender justice
