This document discusses recent trends in women and poverty and their impacts. It begins with definitions of poverty and describes how poverty disproportionately affects women through lower pay, limited access to education, and health and nutrition issues. It then provides statistics on the percentage of women living in poverty in four countries: the Philippines at 18.1%, Bangladesh at 18.54%, the Democratic Republic of Congo at 63.9%, and South Sudan at 82.3%. Solutions proposed to reduce women's poverty include promoting education for girls and women, reducing the gender pay gap, and supporting microfinance programs for women.
