Blog against sexism day
It’s the 8th of March. Not only my uncle’s birthday, but also the International Womens day. I’m supporting the Blog against sexism campaign.

Have a look at some of the links and facts here.
Women are poorer. Women constitute about 70% of the world’s absolute poor – those living on less than a dollar a day. In the United States in 2004, there were 20.1 million women living below the poverty level. Worldwide, women’s access to resources and education still lags behind boys/men due to double standards.
Slavery still exists! Women and girls are the majority of the 800,000 to nearly 4 million people trafficked (bought and sold as property) internationally every year.
