More than 1 billion people live in poverty around the world, and a great majority of them are women. Women's poverty results in widespread violations of their human rights. When a woman faces a lack of access to adequate housing, food, or health care, her human rights are violated. When she lives in an unsafe and unhealthy environment or lacks access to clean water, she is not enjoying her fundamental human rights to a life of dignity and to an adequate standard of living.
Poverty can also be caused by violations of human rights, particularly women's human right to non-discrimination when women are denied equal access to employment opportunities, are paid less than men for equal work, or are prevented by law or custom from owning or inheriting land, they are made vulnerable to poverty. When women are denied equal access to education, when they do not have the equal right to decide on the number and spacing of children, or when they have an unequal share of the responsibility for raising children, their ability to earn an income and to be protected from poverty is greatly compromised.. How you can help
You can start by sharing this note to your friends and you can also help out in your communities visit other ngo's in your area and take action in ways you can e.g you can donate or even volunteer.

Homelessness
Almost everyone has seen a homeless person in a major city. We have gotten used to seeing their despondent faces and listening to pleas for help. But while homeless people are often taken for granted as a part of the urban landscape, their plight should not be ignored.
Ways you can help
Homelessness is a monumental problem, but there are things you can do to help. Educating yourself and others about homeless people is very important by sharing this note. You can also create a fundraising to promote and raise awareness and fund through social networking eg facebook, blogs, myspace, twitter etc.
Children
Do you know that young people around the world face poverty, hunger, disease and violence every day. Many of their parents do not have the resources to help them due to economic problems.
"Millions of children continue to endure the dreadful indignities of poverty; hundreds of thousands suffer the effects of conflict and economic chaos; tens of thousands are maimed in wars; many more are orphaned or killed by HIV/AIDS," said Kofi Annan, secretary general of the United Nations, in The State of the World's Children 2000.
Hunger
The statistics on hunger
§ More than 800 million men, women and children around the world are chronically hungry, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
§ About 199 million children suffer from various stages of undernutrition, according to the FAO. Most of these children live in South Asia .
§ About 46 percent of undernourished people in Sub-Saharan Africa live on less than 300 kilocalories of food per day.
As we enter the 21st century with new technologies promising to improve our lives, many people still live without basic necessities. A recent FAO report stated that most people who are hungry live in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa .
Our environment concerns
Global warming.
Ozone depletion.
Smog.
Water Pollution.
Disappearing rain-forests.
Nuclear waste.
Oil spills in our rivers and oceans.
The problems faced by our Earth is alarming. Humans set about to alter the environment thousands of years ago, and with today's fossil fuels and chemicals, the damage has been great. The Earth's resources are rapidly depleting and many people do not have access to safe drinking water. While not all of the destruction is reversible, there are solutions to some environmental problems.
Ways you can help
There are many simple ways you can contribute to the health of the environment: conserve water
save electricity
Start recycling
You can also organize a cleanup of your neighborhood, a park, a beach or other public property. And create a fundraising for the project if you wish. Contact us if you wish to get involved to save our planet
Women security and equality
Every year representatives of Member States of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), which is dedicated to gender equality and the advancement of women, gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York
A (livelihood) refers to the capabilities, assets and strategies that people use to make a living; that is, to earn enough money to support themselves and their families through a variety of economic activities. In refugee and internally displaced person (IDP) contexts, livelihoods cover the range of activities and programs that work toward and enhance self-reliance, including: non-formal education, vocational and skills training programs, income generation activities, food for work programs, apprenticeship placement projects, micro-credit schemes, agriculture programs, business start up programs, seeds and tools projects, animal disbursement projects, self-employment and job placement programs. The goal of any livelihoods strategy is to develop self-reliance.
With refugees displaced for longer periods than ever before, the ways in which refugees particularly women and adolescents can earn a living and sustain themselves and their families must be addressed systematically and comprehensively while they are displaced. Livelihoods are vital for the social, emotional and economic well-being of displaced persons and are a key way to increase the safety of displaced women and adolescents specifically.
The Women’s Refugee Commission researches and develops guidelines on appropriate livelihoods for displaced women and youth that recognize their skills, experience and capacity. Livelihoods are targeted towards local markets, are comprehensive in approach, and promote self-reliance that is both dignified and sustainable.
Women spend more time providing unpaid care giving than men. Women are more likely than men to care for children and elderly or disabled family members. One study found that 69 percent of unpaid caregivers to older adults in the home are women. Because combining unpaid care giving with paid work can be challenging, women are more likely to work part time or take time out of the workforce to care for family. Twenty-three percent of mothers are out of the workforce compared to just 1 percent of fathers.
Women are more likely to bear the costs of raising children. When parents are not living together, women are more likely to take on the economic costs of raising children. Eight in ten custodial parents are women, and custodial mothers are twice as likely to be poor as custodial fathers.
Pregnancy affects women’s work and educational opportunities more than men’s. The economic costs associated with pregnancy are more significant for women than for men. Unplanned and mistimed pregnancies in particular can result in the termination of education and keep women from getting and sustaining solid employment.
Domestic and sexual violence can push women into a cycle of poverty. Experiencing domestic or sexual violence can lead to job loss, poor health, and homelessness. It is estimated that victims of intimate partner violence collectively lose almost 8 million days of paid work each year because of the violence perpetrated against them by current or former husbands, boyfriends, or dates. Half of the cities surveyed in the US
What should be done for women?
The poverty gap between men and women is not inevitable. The gender wage gap has narrowed over the past 30 years as women have gained greater access to education, the labor market, and better paid jobs. Ending women’s poverty and providing better economic opportunities for all women will require specific policy actions to ensure that:
§ Women should receive the pay they deserve and equal work conditions
§ Women should have access to higher-paying jobs
§ Women in the workforce should have affordable child and elder care, as well as access to quality flexible work and paid family leave
§ Women should receive the support they need through expanded tax credits to help meet the costs of raising their families
§ Women should receive the contraceptive services they need so that they can plan their families
§ Women should receive the support and protection they need to leave violent situations while maintaining job and housing stability
§ Women should be educated in the need to say no to drug trafficking and report any attempt made to convince them to become a carrier.
§ Pregnant women should be giving a health benefits for mother and child.
§ Justice should be passed for women who are victims of domestic abuse.
§ Sex slavery should be stopped.
§ Women who are living with AID /HIV and handicapped should be allowed to participate in the society and employed.

| Freedom is the key to happiness take a stand with us to stop sex slavery! |
The reality is some women choose this, but many are smuggled not only for sex work, but for forced labor and domestic help. Women are being manipulated using local traditional oaths to scare them and force them into sex work.
Before they leave
The women leave fingernails, pubic hairs, soiled underwear and other intimate items at the shrines. These, according to traditional beliefs which are strong in
"They deported us, right from Nador where I stayed in Morocco
"No food, no water, nothing. Those who didn't have strength after walking, walking, walking, enough sun, they fall down and die."
Spanish television has shown images of handcuffed sub-Saharans crying for help through the windows of police buses traveling through the Moroccan desert. Morocco
But United Nations peacekeeping monitors are currently searching the Western Sahara for immigrants they believe have been abandoned there.

Conclusion
The best policy solutions to address women’s poverty must combine a range of decent employment opportunities with a network of social services that support healthy families, such as quality health care, child care, and housing support. Policy objectives must also recognize the multiple barriers to economic security women face based on their race, ethnicity, immigration status, sexuality, physical ability, and health status. These approaches must promote the equal social and economic status of all women by expanding their opportunities to balance work and family life.
