Open Data Watch的动态

Imagine trying to close the gender pay gap without knowing how much women earn. Or ensuring women’s equal access to financial resources without data on who owns bank accounts or land. How would we measure progress on unpaid care work, gender-based violence, or women’s leadership if we didn’t collect the data? The reality is gender equality will not be achieved if women and girls remain invisible in data. For over a decade, Open Data Watch has worked to advance inclusive data systems that count, support, and highlight the experiences of women and girls. From tracking gender data financing to advocating for better policies and tools like the Gender Data Compass, we have remained committed to closing data gaps and ensuring that data informs action. This International Women’s Day, we recognize the growing challenges facing data for women and girls—from declining investments to political pressures that undermine transparency. But we remain steadfast in our mission. Next week, we will be back in New York at the Commission on the Status of Women for critical meetings that reinforce the urgency of building inclusive data systems that work for all. We are grateful to work alongside partners like UN Women, Data2X, United Nations Foundation, PARIS21, Gates Foundation, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Collaborative on Citizen Data, United Nations Statistics Division and so many others continue to push for stronger gender data systems. The work continues, and so does our commitment. Happy International Women’s Day to all.
