According to UNESCO, an estimated 774 million adults, two-thirds of them women, live without basic literacy skills.

International Literacy Day is an opportunity for you to decide how you can help.
Women make up almost two thirds of the one billion adults who cannot read and write," said Victorine Kemonou, International Education Campaigns Coordinator for ActionAid. "Yet literacy increases women's involvement in household decisions, community affairs and as active citizens in national life," she added.
