Women are the backbone of the development of rural and national economies. They comprise 43% of the world’s agricultural labor force. They can claim their rights, access to land, leadership, opportunities, choices and economy’s growth.

Women of the world want and deserve an equal future free from stigma, stereotypes and violence; a future that’s sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all. To get them there, the world needs women at every table where decisions are being made.

In Jodhpur village of Rajasthan the women are feeding their families, growing their businesses and saving more money than ever before, with the help of a Tata Trusts-CmF programme that’s empowering rural women.
Rural women are key agents for achieving the transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face, which are further aggravated by the global food and economic crises and climate change. Empowering them is key not only to the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also to overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide.

The new Indian census(2011), which put the population at 1.2 billion, has revealed an alarming trend. Rising incomes only seem to accelerate gendercide – the evocative term for the selective abortion of girl foetuses. There were 945 girls per 1,000 boys in the 1991 census, 927 in 2001 and now 914.

An SR-71B Blackbird sits on the runway at Beale Air Force Base, Cali. The SR-71 was a marvel of engineering that flew in the US Air Force for more than 30 years. The plane holds records for speed and distance that stand to this day. It was so fast that the plane's defense for avoiding missiles was to simply outrun them. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech Sgt.

Greetings on the International Women’s Day!
Women are often the worst affected by conflict. They often become targets of sexual violence, their husbands and children may be killed – leaving them without support. But women are also key to rebuilding peace and resilience and today we are celebrating their important role.
Let's unite for an equal sustainable and peaceful world! #IWD2022

On International Day of the Girl Child 2018, themed “With Her: A Skilled Girl Force”, join UN Women as we stand with girls everywhere as they inspire, innovate and take charge of their own future.
The 1.1 billion girls of today’s world are challenging the status quo. They’re redefining girlhood, and they’re doing so against the odds.
Across the world, girls face adversities that hinder their education, training and entry into the workforce.They have less access to information, communication technology and resources, such as the internet where the global gender gap is growing.
A quarter of young people, most of them girls, are neither employed nor getting an education or training.
This year alone, 12 million girls under 18 will be married, and 21 million girls aged 15 to 19 years will become pregnant in developing regions.
And yet, they persist, they succeed. They are innovating technology to solve global challenges, they are standing up for the environment, they are raising their voices against violence and they are preparing to run for office.

An SR-71B cruises over the Tehachapi Mountains in California in 1992. The SR-71 was used in a program to study ways of reducing sonic booms that are heard on the ground when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. (NASA photo)
At 80,000 feet, the SR-71 was capable of surveying 100,000 square miles of Earth’s surface per hour. In mid-1976, an SR-71 set two world records for its class, with a speed record of about 2,193 mph and an altitude record of sustained flight at about 85,069 feet. (NASA photo/Jim Ross)
