Nine out of ten infant deaths occur unnecessarily. India has a rate
of imprisonment of only one twentieth of the USA. Nevertheless it
manages to have a lower homicide rate. In 2010 Honduras had
proprtionately one thousand five hundred times as many deaths from
firearms compared to the UK and Norway. If men had the same
incarceration rate as women then over nine out of ten prisons could
close. In 2010 Chad had a maternal mortality rate, which has over a
hundred times that of France and Australia. Worldwide two in five
adults are overweight and yet 13% are undernourished. Due to
pollution more than five million pieces of plastic, collectively
weighing nearly 269,000 tonnes are floating in the world's oceans
damaging the food chain. About 12 billion bullets are produced
every year, which is almost enough to kill every person on the
planet twice. Worldwide two thirds of illiterate adults are women.
Unsafe abortion led to 47,000 deaths in 2008. These were nearly all
in the poor countries.
