Gender inequality is a big issue all over the world. Women are responsible for 60% of work done globally and yet only earn 10% of household income and own 1% of property. Gender inequality is prevalent in Africa where 70% of women are excluded financially. Africa has a $42 billion financial gap between men and women. Closing the gender gap for women and girls is crucial in Africa where millions of girls are not in school and are therefore at risk of being left behind. In fact, 4 million of them may never set foot in a classroom. Issues regarding gender inequality often include education, health, safety, income generation, employment, early pregnancy, and self-confidence.
