The list has been inspired by the BBC 100 Women Challenge, which will be held in Delhi from 9-13 October where a team will look at the female illiteracy. Other places hosting the 100 Women Challenge are: Silicon Valley from 2nd-6th October, where a group will tackle the glass ceiling; safety on public transport will be the focus for the London and Nairobi team from 16th - 20th October; and finally from 23rd -27th October, women in Rio will consider sexism in sport.
