THE UNEQUAL WORLD

Massive poverty and obscene inequality are such terrrible scourges of our time-times in which the world boasts breathtaking advances in science,technology,industry,and apartheid as social evils.

NELSON MANDELA, LONDON,2005

THE EXTENT OF GLOBAL INEQUALITY

THE INCOME OF THE WORLDS RICHEST 500 BILLIONAIRES EXCEED THAT OF ITS POOREST 416 MILLION PEOPLE.

Every miunte of every day, somewhere in the developing world, a women dies needlessly in childbirth or pregnancy,and 20 children are killed by avoidable diseases such as diarrhoe or maaria.
Government SPEND least on health care where the need is greatest.

Inequality compounds, and often stems from, discrimination based on gender,race,or caste. In Guatemala, the number of children of European descent dying before they reach their fifth birthday is 56 in every 1,000 compared with 79  of every 1,000 indigenous children.

Inequality is monster.
