DAY 9: Female Laborers...a voice for the voiceless

Female laborers are women who work too long, too hard and too much, especially in back breaking manual labor.

* Out of the 550 million working poor in the world, an estimated 330 million, or 60% are women.

* The majority of women earn on average about 3/4 of the pay of males for the same work.

* An African peasant woman typically works 16 hours daily trudging long distances to fetch firewood, animal fodder and water, growing and harvesting food, tending crops, and cooking and caring for her family. This leaves little time to seek education and training, the very things that enable women to break the cycle of low status and poverty.

* Worldwide, over 60% of people working in family enterprises without pay are women.

* On a one hectare farm in the Indian Himalayans, a pair of bullock's works 1064 hours, a man woks 1212 hours and a women 3485 hours a year.

PRAY: Who is like our God who rescues the poor from those too strong for them? Ps. 35: 10

* This verse over the exploited women who are forced to work too long, too hard, too much
* For godly business owners
* For Bible based family structures.
