WOMEN

In developing countries, where three fourths of the world’s population live, sixty percent of the

people who can’t read and write are women. Being illiterate doesn’t mean they are not intelligent. It

does mean it is difficult for them to change their lives. They produce more than haft of the food. In

Africa eighty percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many programs to help

poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs provided money and

training for men.

In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4:45 a.m, she gets up, washes and eats.

It takes her a haft hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3:00p.m. She collects firewood

and gets home at 4:00. She spends the next hour and a haft preparing food to cook. Then she collects

water for another hour. From 6:30 to 8:30 she cook. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the

dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9:30 p.m.

International organizations and programs run by developed nations are starting to help women, as

well as men, improve their agricultural production. Governments have already passed some laws

affecting women because of the UNO Decade for Women. The UNO report will affect the changes

now happening in the family and society.
