Women

Seeing as it was International Women's Day this week (Thursday) I would like to share this little passage that I read. It was a letter that I read in my Parish bulletin from Natalie Linder L'Huillier whom is the Chair of the Australian Catholic Women's Council. It went like this...
"Michelle Bachelet, the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations reminds us that of the estimated 1.3 billion poor in the world, more than sixty percent are women. Furthermore, women work two-thirds of the worlds working hours and produce half of the world's food, yet earn only 10 per cent of the world's income and own less than one percent of the world's property."

I thought this was a little bit scary!

Hope you had a wonderful week.
