International Women’s Day

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Today’s theme is equal rights, equal opportunities and progress for all.

Not much worth celebrating until the following are addressed:

*The majority of the world’s 1.3 billion absolute poor are women.

*On average, women receive between 30 percent and 40 percent less pay than men earn for the same work.

*Women also continue to be victims of violence, with rape and domestic violence listed as significant causes of disability and death among women worldwide.

Gorilla thinks: “If women ran the world, you can bet the world would be better off!”
