When we see the world through data, who does the counting and who matters? How do we present data in a compelling way to diverse audiences? Too often, gender is neglected in data collection and data-driven decision-making. In this session, presenters will walk through the importance of collecting sex-disaggregated data and cultural context, issues of data access, and biases in data collection methods. Through examples, we’ll show how adopting a gender lens to data work makes progress in gender equity and justice, and consider how we can better use and present data in compelling ways.
