This year is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. Since 1911 we’ve come an awfully long way. But why, in 2011, are women performing 66 per cent of the world’s work, producing 50 per cent of the world’s food, and yet only earning 10 per cent of world’s income and owning one per cent of the world’s property?
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
