According to Inter Press Service, “On globalscale, women cultivate more than half of all thefood that is grown. In sub-Saharan Africa and theCaribbean, they produce up to 80 per cent of basicfoodstuffs. In Asia, they account for around 50 percent of food production. In Latin America, theyare mainly engaged in subsistence farming,horticulture, poultry and raising small livestock.”

Yet women often get little recognition forthat. In fact, many go unpaid. It is very difficultfor these women to get the financial resourcesrequired to buy equipment etc., as many societiesstill do not accept, or realize, that there is a changein the “traditional” roles.

UNICEF’s 2007 report on state of the world’schildren focused on the discrimination anddisempowerment women face throughout theirlives and how that impacts children’s lives. Inregards to work and pay, they noted the following.

Reasons for such disparity include the factthat women are generally underpaid and becausethey often perform low-status jobs, compared tomen. UNICEF notes that the data isn’t alwaysperfect, and that generalizations such as the abovecan hide wider fluctuations. “Brazil, for example,

4S | BBA-14

women under the age of 25 earn a higher averagehourly wage than their male counterparts.”

UNICEF’s main summary of equality inemployment included the following points :

When women work outside the household,they earn, on average, far less than men. They arealso more likely to work in more precarious formsof employment with low earnings, little financialsecurity and few or no social benefits.
