Oh wow, that's cool Moss. Really cool!

This map shows the number of young women that would need to be educated to reach the same literacy rates as young men in each territory. The biggest gaps between male and female literacy are in Southern Asia, Northern Africa and Southeastern Africa. In Pakistan, when the number of illiterate boys is subtracted from illiterate girls, the result is 2.6 million ‘extra’ girls who cannot read or write; that is 24% of women aged 15-24 there.

The most ‘extra’ female illiteracy in the Middle East is in Yemen; in Eastern Europe it is in Turkey; in Asia Pacific it is in Indonesia; in South America it is in Guatemala; and in North America it is in the United States.

Surprised that one of the other Aussies hasn't already written this but our favourite map is Tasmania. That will be nonsensical to anyone not from the Antipodes.
