Editor's Notes
- One in 3 women will be beaten raped or abused (usually by someone she knows) .1 in 4 for US
- Women produce 66% of the world’s work, 50% of food, but earn 10% of include and own 1% of property – women in africa spend 40 billion hours every year traveling to and from water sources – this is the equivalent to the time spent by France’s workforce in one year.
- CONFLICT Resolution – in spite of 1325 little participation – zero chief mediators in UN System
