The statistics that quantify gender discrimination against women in developing countries are shocking. More than 560 million women are illiterate, twice the number of illiterate men. Less than 50 percent of pregnant women in south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa have access to prenatal care, and female genital mutilation affects over 130 million women.
