Click to hide this space WASHINGTON, DC – Today, women own roughly 35% of small and medium-size enterprises in developing countries, and make up approximately 40% of the global workforce. Women’s consumer spending is projected to reach $28 trillion globally in 2014. And women contribute to their societies by investing their earnings in health, education, and family. Indeed, when it comes to women’s economic value, the numbers speak for themselves.
And yet recent research by the World Bank Group documented discrepancies between treatment of women and men in 102 of 141 countries surveyed – policies and practices that severely limit women’s economic opportunities. Gender-based barriers to investment not only put women at a disadvantage; they also reduce the entire economy’s growth potential. Three fundamental and interrelated gender-specific challenges must be addressed to make countries’ investment climate more woman-friendly. 17 Ridiculously Sexist Ads That Actually Existed.

CyberFeminism \\ˈsī-bərˈfe-mə-ni-zəm \\ : A wave of thought, criticism, and art that emerged in the early 1990s, galvanizing a generation of feminists, before bursting along with the dot-com bubble.
The term was coined simultaneously by the British cultural theorist Sadie Plant and the Australian art collective VNS Matrix in 1991, during the heady upwelling of cyberculture—that crucial moment in which the connective technology of the Internet was moving into the public sphere.
