Gender Inequality
There are some gender issues around wage inequality, employment, physical violence, sexual harassment, marriage, and pregnancy. Data shows that 49 countries still lack laws protecting women from domestic violence. Women also do 2.6 times more unpaid care and domestic work than men that leads to lower earnings and less time for non-work activities.

Part E_1　Reading

Please read aloud the passages below. After that, I will ask the following questions. Please answer based on the passages.
Part E_2　Reading

　　　
Clean water and sanitation
Although progress has been made in improving access to safe drinking water, billions of people—most of whom live in rural regions— still lack access to these services. According to statistics, three out of every ten people do not have access to clean drinking water, and six out of every ten people do not have access to clean lavatories.

dropout_rate

More people will be affected by water-borne diseases if this crisis continues. Every day, about 1,000 children die from diarrheal infections linked to water and sanitation that could have been avoided. Women’s educational and economic potential is likewise limited because of water scarcity. In 80 percent of households without access to water, women and girls are accountable for water collection. As a result, they cannot attend school or work.

Part E_3　Reading

1. Based on the passage, why can women not attend school or work?

Part E_5　Reading

　　　
The effects of water on our lives and businesses
Water is crucial for our survival, not only for drinking but also for sanitation, livestock, and businesses. However, water scarcity, which is likely to intensify, affects more than 40 percent of the world’s population. Drinking water is more important than eating food for all living things, including humans because it accounts for 60 to 70 percent of their entire body weight. Stale, bad-tasting water limits water consumption, and it could be a breeding ground for disease-causing pathogens if it is contaminated.

Furthermore, the cost of maintaining water-intensive firms is rising. The 2015 drought in Brazil, for example, resulted in an increase in local costs of $8 million, including $2.1 million in higher utility bills. Nearly 80 percent of the water used by businesses comes from their supply networks, according to Ecolab, a water-treatment company in the United States. Shipping can also be delayed by low water levels, leaving cargo stranded on its way to its destination.
