• Feb. 25th: The United Nations has launched a campaign to combat violence against women and girls, calling it a global scourge affecting a third of the world’s female population. The campaign will run until 2015, which is also the deadline for the U.N. Millennium Development Goals aimed at halving poverty.

  The UN recognizes that:

  – Gender inequities must be reduced if the Government is to reduce poverty because: (i) most of the poor are women, and they disproportionately bear the burden of poverty due to their multiple roles and disadvantaged position; (ii) women are traditionally primary production managers, small enterprise traders, primary cash earners, smallcredit users, and key agriculturists, yet their potentials have not been realized due to institutional, resource, and cultural barriers; and (iv) women are more likely to stimulate demand for better education and health delivery.
