The image is a bar chart depicting estimated world illiteracy rates by region and gender for the last year. The vertical axis represents the percentage of illiteracy, with markers at 10% intervals up to 60%. The horizontal axis displays regions: Developed Countries, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States, South Asia, and South East Asia. Each region has two bars side by side, representing male and female illiteracy percentages. Developed Countries shows around 1% male and less than 1% female illiteracy. Latin America indicates just under 10% for males and just over 10% for females. Sub-Saharan Africa displays around 30% male and over 40% female illiteracy. Arab States present just over 20% for males and approximately 40% for females. South Asia has roughly 30% male and just over 50% female illiteracy. South East Asia reveals around 10% male and below 20% female illiteracy.

The bar chart illustrates the estimated percentages of illiterate people worldwide, categorized by region and gender, for the most recent year.
Overall, illiteracy rates vary considerably among regions, with women consistently showing higher rates of illiteracy than men. South Asia and the Arab States record the highest proportions of people unable to read or write, while developed countries have the lowest rates for both genders.
In South Asia, nearly 60% of women are illiterate, compared with about 35% of men. Similarly, in the Arab States, female illiteracy exceeds 50%, whereas the rate for men is roughly 20-30 percentage points lower. Sub-Saharan Africa also exhibits relatively high illiteracy rates for both genders, though the gap between men and women is less pronounced than in the previous two regions.
By contrast, Latin America, East Asia, and the developed world have relatively low levels of illiteracy. In developed countries, fewer than 3% of both men and women are illiterate, indicating minimal gender disparity. A clear pattern emerges that regions with lower overall illiteracy rates tend to show smaller differences between male and female literacy levels.
