• In southern countries, women spend an average of 63 hours per week on unpaid work, compared with 50 hours per week for men.
  
• Women in rural areas of developing countries spend eight times as much time on household tasks as men.
  
• On average, women in developing countries spend 6.5 hours per week collecting and carrying water.
