| International Women's Day 2013 Message by Dr. Joan Clos, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director UN-Habitat |
|
|
|
Today, just over half the world’s people live in urban areas and it is predicted that the number of urban dwellers will rise to 70 per cent by 2050. Cities and towns are sources of development if they are well planned and governed but when they are not they can become spaces of insecurity and conflict. The urban poor are more exposed to crime and violence than the rich, and since women make up the majority of the urban poor they are more exposed to risk.
