She spoke about the sufferings and hopes of black women.  She said, "The inquality of women is not of women only; it is problem, it is an issue that is cuts across all cultures". She cited some statistics from US Department of Labor; in 1980 families headed by black women are the poorest in America with poverty rates tripled that of other families. Women earn 10% of the world income and yet own only 1% of the world's property. In the USA in 1983, 2 out of 3 older American women were living in poverty.
