"Globally, #women spend an average of 4.5 hours doing #unpaid work every day. This #global average obscures the reality of many women’s lives, which can consist of six or seven or more hours of unpaid work every day. This heavy and unequal burden is unfair. It’s also a serious obstacle to progress, because women are so busy meeting basic needs that they can’t invest in the future by doing paid work, going to school, or visiting the doctor regularly. By saving women’s time, we can unleash their potential." - Melinda Gates #GatesLetter #TimePoverty #SuperPowerForGood #SocialGood #BillandMelindaGates #GatesNotes #globalgoals
